But what kind of property do you pay $6200 on? I have a 1500 sq. ft., three bedroom cape built in 1941. It sits on a 46'x100' lot. The city I live in has lower taxes than nearby Essex County (which includes the city of Newark), but I know people in NH who have lakefront property, 5 bedrooms, boathouse, etc. and only pay about $700 more than I do for property taxes.
