Taxes are the price we pay for civilization.

Tell that to the people in PG county.

Is this in Montgomery County? If the house is owner occupied, you are eligible for a discount on your taxes - Homestead Exemption. Is the tax rate you were quoted for the house based on a non-owner occupied property?

Presumably you're looking in a set price range, so the taxes are what they are. Only way they would vary appreciably might be MD vs VA or something.


This isn't true ... at least not in DC. Property taxes vary wildly here for houses in the same price range.
