If you have not go to the county sites to review the taxes.
Yes you pay all the different taxes for the area you are living in. Utilities available and rates also vary withing a county or city in some cases.
Be careful if you are buying an older home. Refigure the taxes on what you are paying and not what they are paying as the law gives home owners various tax breaks.
You can qualify for the homestead exemption the year you are living full time in the home on Jan 1st as I recall. Since the taxes are generally billed at the end of the prior year you will have a number of months that you do not get the benefit of the deduction.
