Re: commack real estate taxes
is it a new house?
age and size of the house have more to do with taxes than lot size

in this case, school district is a factor. Commack is one fo the top school districts.

Re: commack real estate taxes
I'm in Commack and my taxes are just under $7000 with STAR. I have a 3 bedroom split on almost 1/3 of an acre. My house is small though, and old. I'm in Commack school district.

Re: commack real estate taxes
My taxes are 10,500 and I have a 3 bedroom ranch with a family room extension and finished basement.
This is without STAR.
My school taxes alone are 5,500
Overall, I just thought Commack was high. But what you are quoting is like the new houses they are building off Harned.
I am also the town of Smithtown, I heard Commack town of huntington was a bit more reasonable.

Re: commack real estate taxes
My parents house is in Commack SD, they are on 1/2 an acre. Their taxes are almost 12K with star.
Does the house you are looking at have any additions, a deck, things like that?

Commack is high, but that's really high. Is it a two family by any chance?

Re: commack real estate taxes
I think the age of your home and square footage must be playing a big role.

Re: commack real estate taxes
I know the house you are talking about... Its gorgeous, but the funny thing is, there is a house for sale on the same block that is newer and has the same ammount of property and the taxes are $11,000. Ill never understand it.

If that is the case you might be able to greive the taxes, you could possibly negotiate a better price because of the high taxes and then try to greive them!
