You should be able to go to your tax collectors web site for you county and look up any home. You will probably see that nnurse is correct. When the builder is building the home he has paid tax on Jan 1 of the building year based on the land value. Not the cost of the home. Starting Jan 1 of the year after you buy you pay taxes on the land and the building. I am surprised that the payments only doubled. Just guessing I could see $500 tax on the land and 3,000 on the land and building. The bond would then be on top of that. I do not think their is a bond cost until the new home is sold.
