"It's the RE taxes that worry me...they never go away or go down ! "
Most of the propert tax goes to schools, where I live we are considered a sending district to a regional school. Long Beach Island is a beach community so most homes are summer homes owned by New Yorkers, North Jersians, and Pennsyltuckians so they get whacked royaly and get no benifit, they figured it is costing close to $40,000.00 grand a kid per year to send them to this school as there are only a few year round locals. They are finally wising up and considering using one of the local grade schools as a new high school, if that happens taxes will most likely go down. Property here has gone through the roof with little 50 x 100 ocean or bay front lots being sold in the millions if you can find one, even the worse locations on the main street 3 years ago that were selling for $150,000. are now million dollar tear downs.
