Where is that?

My parents lived in North County and paid 13k+ a year on a $350k house. Their current place in Tampa is about 400k and the taxes are less than half of what they were in NY. Maybe Florida is a special case?

I'm basing this off of apartments in NYC. I often see ~$600k co-cops with $800 monthly co op fees (of which half is maintenance half is taxes). That seems low to me compared with similarly priced homes elsewhere.

Property tax in New York City tends to be lowered because there is also an income tax. Try comparing homes outside the city.

NYC has has a city tax on your income. If you are living in the tristate area youre paying one way or the other :)

WA is also lower than NY. I have a few properties, and I would say property tax is 0.75% to 1% of market value, max.
