unfortunately all of rockland county has high taxes, unless you luck out on some house that is stuck in some old tax bracket (but they do catch up with you eventually). if you live in glenhill, elm, bates where it's condos u'll pay only about $4500 a year between taxes and monthly maintenance fees. everywhere else ur looking at $8-14 thousand dollars anually on average. chestnut ridge is on the higher end - between 11-14. but i know ppl who pay less. it depends on the house. i live in airmont and pay 12 for no big special house...it's just that that's the bracket i'm stuck in and trying to fight to lower it. and don't trust the online quotes of taxes, they're all made up. you have to call the tax office to get the correct quotes. they're much higher and they're going up in september as well.
