Gad, move to the midwest, our taxes are less than 3k. Two acres.
I tell my parents all the time to move, they just won`t do it. My mother is Scottish so you can understand the stubborn streak, but I get very worried at times that something may happen to them such as an illness and they can`t work, and when that happens the liberal predators of Sue York state will come in and rip them to shreds, take everything they have from them. I keep telling them to consider New Hampshire which has no local taxes I understand, and has similar low property taxes like the amount you said, but they will not even consider it. It drives me NUTS! Sometimes I think they are self destructive.
