NY HAS THE COUNTRY'S MOST BURDENSOME TAXES

[1075tech]

I am in the process of scraping off popcorn ceiling in my family room and getting ready to repaint it. I just went to Lowe's and bought paint and primer. I noticed a strange new surcharge added on. It looks like NY found a new creative way to suck more money from us. God I hate this state.

Some people we talk to seem not to comprehend how taxes work on houses and that you will be paying them for the rest of your life. I have heard so many times from my family and people in the area that the housing in the Rochester area is cheaper than where we lived in SC. And it is true - the house prices are cheaper - but the taxes are insane. And when I tell them that you will be paying those taxes for the rest of your life and your house won't increase in value as much due to the higher taxes they look at me with a blank stare.

When I tell people our property taxes in SC were $1300 per year the usual defense is much better schools here in NY. Are NY schools 7 times better? Absolutely not. Our school district in SC still had everything you wanted complete with an applied technology center.

With the over 8k you save on taxes, you could join whatever YMCA, community center, sign up your kids for the programs you want and still have money left over.

I think my parents have had their house paid off for like 10 years but still need to pay over 9k in property taxes every year. For the past 10 years they could have saved 80k plus the investment opportunity. On top of that, use the rule of 25, they will need an extra 200k in their investments in order to retire and handle the extra 8k they pay here in property taxes.

We came to NY for a short time for family and we will be leaving for our family.

Yes I have had to deal with this. You pay the fee when purchasing and I don’t think it’s free to recycle the paint. Ok I stand corrected and they did partner with NYS on this at this point. I checked a few weeks ago and it was only free up to a point and I think it was 50 lbs so you do have to be careful. I think you also have to request a voucher through my county to get it. There was a local place doing a drive so I donated $10 and dropped off a ton of paint.

Materials | Hazman

Hazman accepts hazardous waste from homeowners and conditionally exempt small quantity generators (businesses with less that 220 lbs. of material / month). Some of the acceptable items include: oil-based paint, latex paint, fire extinguishers, propane tanks, gasoline, antifreeze, appliances and...

This x100000

If you are comparing the costs in SC on a 400k house with 1000 annual taxes to a NY house for 250k and 7000 annual taxes the actual mortgage payments will be somewhat comparable probably still more expensive in ny. But do you want to be paying the state or putting more of your money into value that you will one day own and it will be yours?

I tell people all the time. Even if you are ever able to get your mortgage paid off here in NY at some point you're still going to be paying roughly 600+ a month in taxes that WILL NEVER GO AWAY only go higher.

Someday your SC house will have accrued much more equity to build your personal wealth.

Your mortgage in SC once paid off you're living almost for free paying 80$ a month in taxes.

Huge difference.

Monroe Co. (Rochester area)...$1,278 every month...$15,533 each year...property tax..

The biggest rip-off of all is rent-a-car taxes. Literally highway robbery. I rented a car for a week while I was shopping for a new car. Tax was like 30%.

Cigarettes
They sale tax the $4.35 state tax. Per pack. NYC adds $1.50 more to that.

Bought my 2200 Sq. ft. home in WNY and real estate taxes were $3K. 18 years later they were $10K when I sold it for $300K and moved to NC. Property taxes on it are now about $12K, - and still climbing. Bought a 1500 sq. ft. brick ranch in NC for $240K, and paid about $2K a year. Now live in a $450K house in SC where the property taxes are $1.5K per year.

I can't say it loud enough or often enough: GTFO of NYS and save your money. Oh yeah, - keep your guns without all of the Unconstitutional BS NY imposes too.

My homeowners insurance is more than my property taxes. ~$2100/yr combined.

When I look at a the town of Greece and see the amount of tax collected both business and residential. The streets should be paved in Gold!

You mean the pockets are paved in gold so the streets aren’t.

Who the fuck cars about schools.
I don't have kids. I will likely never have kids. Why am I paying a tax to send kids to school when I don't have kids? And don't give me that "it takes a village" bullshit. Based on what I'm seeing in society today these kids would be better off if they never went!
This would actually be an argument FOR moving. NY rapes you with school taxes.

Every house I've looked at in NY is well outside my price range. Not because of the mortgage cost, but because I would essentially have to DOUBLE that monthly cost because of taxes. Unless I want a $90k "unique fixer upper" any "house" I own in NY has a title from DMV.

Schools in nys are no where near as good as they were. The spending per student is outrageous in nys.

I agree. Same holds true with property tax. Once it is purchased a sale tax should be paid and that is it. What other item does one own and continues to pay a tax year after year? It's nothing more than theft!
