What I don't understand about the taxes is the rate. A friend has a house on the golf course in the same neighborhood we live in. Her tax rate works out to about 1.3% of the total taxable value of the home. Our house is on an interior lot. Our tax rate works out to 1.5% of our total taxable home value. That doesn't make sense to me. It looks like a small amount, but for us, comes to about an extra $500 per yer. (To calculate the rate, I took the total tax paid for the year divided by the total taxable value of the home).
