In my state, school taxes make up a small portion of property taxes. And, the state limits the amount.
Steve, I don’t know what county you live in but I paid $7,144 in property taxes last year and $3,876 went to schools and $983 went to the junior college. That left $1,915 to the county and $370 to EMS.
In NYS School taxes are atrocious, well over half of your property taxes. And they are thousands and thousands of dollars.
