To me, that number is large because the house I own in Arizona with the same square footage in the city has annual taxes of only $1800 a month. My home here in Florida is newly built two years ago and in a rural area. So I think the taxes are high. But Florida doesn't have a state income tax so it balances out.

We also own 25 acres surrounding the house which are zoned agricultural and the taxes on it are very low as long as we use the acreage for some agricultural purpose. So we decided to raise beef cattle. We also own the family cemetery (1 acre) across the highway from us and the taxes on it are zero.

I'm not sure if I would call it "lucky" or just the different circumstances.
