[quote=Spring Hillian;22618911]Acres of bare land is going to have a value and the taxes on that land will be based on the assessed value. No matter where it is. Size of property is not the issue, its the value of the property. Larger size home does not make a difference in the tax due on it, the assessed value does.

What I am trying to tell you is if you paid $285k in Naples, the taxes on
that $285k piece of property are not as high as you are stating they are.
On a value of $200k it would still be less than you are quoting which was $4k in taxes but now appears to be $3k.

Yes, indeed. FL is cheaper than metro NYC across the board.

While we PAID $285,000 for the house, it was ASSESSED at $375,000. Can you understand that? In English, we paid LESS for our house than it was assessed at. Hey, if somebody wants to sell you their house for $5 nobody is stopping them, but you taxes will not be based on that $5!!!!

The point is you aren't paying $4k a year in taxes.
