Shit housing market? If by “shit” you mean decent place for dirt cheap, then yeah, shit.

Yeah, well, welcome to The People’s Republic of New York.
deep fried christ on a stick
best part is that my town assessed value is like $53k.
of course the 500sq ft addition is also technically a covered porch. :snky:
My house:
For those who can’t view PB, it’s a breakdown of my property and school taxes, which add up to $4300 for the year (without exemptions). In the Ken-Ton school district. And <2000 sq ft house. With 0.182 acres of land.
so ytd almost $2k on an assessed $53k? fuck me sideways
my rents house out in ea hasnt been reassessed in 25 years. They are paying ~$4k+ on an assessed $65k. I cant imagine what it will be if they sell it.
yeppers.
Total bill should be right around 2500 not counting what I donate to the 3 volunteer fire companies around us.
It’s only a matter of time before we get reassessed - the prev owners were elderly and had all the exemptions in the world before we bought it last April.
Then of course we filed ~$50k worth of rebuilding permits in June.
So long as it comes in well below the bank appraisal I’ll be happy. :meh:
Oh yea, Amherst Central school district.
Fry that seems really high. Here is mine in the Amherst school district.
Total Assessed Value $99,000
Town and County (click for detail) Current Collection 2008
Bill Amount $1,777.11
School
Collection 2007
Bill Amount $829.02
Exemption Amount $1,115.84
True Tax $1,944.86
Mine would be $3700 a year without exemptions, on 99k value.
Yeah I dunno. That’s just a screen cap from Tonawanda’s town website for my house. :shrug:
