Exactly same property taxes. All the other words about ages, size, etc are irrelevant when assessed values are identical.

In the amenity fee thinking, one house would be taxed at a different amount.
But that would be unfair.

What is unclear about this?
You are ignoring the details that result in the amenity fee being different.

To compare apples to apples you would have two homes purchased at exactly the same time. In that case, the amenity fee for the two homes would be exactly the same just as the exemptions and property tax.

If the amenity fee was different then the reason was the homes were purchased in different years. If the homes were purchased in different years then the exemptions would NOT be exactly the same and the property tax would NOT be the same.
