I have never heard anyone in NJ or NY inform them have low property taxes.

How someone with a  $550K has low property taxes is odd.

I consider low property taxes around 2K a year.

It's relative to location. I live in a county which has some of the lowest property taxes in the tri-state area. By crossing over the river into Passaic County taxes go up 40% on average, but they are still much lower than most places in NY.

Exactly.  I've been to Morris County and I have family on Long Island, the only difference I see between those two is that Morris County isn't an island so there are more ways to get away quicker.

Taxes are higher in NY State, it's just a fact. The taxes are 40% higher in Orange County than in Morris County, and for no apparent reasons. The same thing can be said about Passaic and Bergen Counties.

 7 out  of 10 of the highest rates are in NJ ...

10 of the most expensive counties for property taxes, based on the median paid for single-family homes, are in the same vicinity:

County Median taxes

 

Westchester, NY $13,842

Rockland, NY $10,550

Bergen, NJ $9,546

Essex, NJ $9,288

Nassau, NY $9,091

Passaic, NJ $8,978

Union, NJ $8,926

Morris, NJ $8,549

Hudson, NJ $8,407

Hunterdon, NJ $8,392

Most people use terms outrageous or another term.

I think he's using it in a relative term.   Same thing can be said about CT-taxes are lower than NJ or NY, but it's relative.  If you compare CT to TN or NC, our taxes are ridiculously high.

So you're telling me that none of the NYC counties make that list and that Suffolk isn't in the top 10?

Billy Joel among others are keeping the higher tax scene alive and well on Long Island.

For those kind of taxes I would want a full ASOS station on the property. ;)

Almost makes the 21K per year taxes for prime Long Beach waterfront seem like a bargain.

Taxes are really high in all the NYC metro area, whether it be NJ, NY, or CT. I think my parents pay approximately $6000/yr on a house worth around 250k with 0.14 acres land in southern Westchester. Pretty ridiculous. They own a five bedroom vacation house on an acre of land in rural PA, and the taxes are a fraction of those paid in Westchester despite the larger house and property.

Those property tax lists don't take into account how much land and the type of structure you're buying, which both contribute to your bill.

There's properties in Queens around here that have 6000 dollar property tax bills for a piece of land 40 by 100 feet.

I'd rather see the price per square foot.

Those expensive counties have high property taxes because they're nice areas. Did you guys see the list of lowest property tax locales? I'd rather live in and rent a garage in NYC than live on 10 acres of land in some of those places.

This will be remembered as the summer of man-o- wars and shark attacks for the East Coast.

It looks like the kids taken to the hospital after being stung on Fire Island were ok after treatment.

Most likely related to the shifts in the Gulf Stream with the  AMO decline and the cold horseshoe

of Atlantic SST's around warmer just off the East Coast.

You can see the dramatic reversal in the NATL SST profile since 2012

Probably elevated instability tstorms

Which is all we are getting anyways, it's not like the cloud cover messed up a chance of severe storms. We are like 500+ miles away from even being in a 2 percent chance of severe storms :)
