That is crazy high. Boston has a resident exemption and i live in my condo so my taxes for a 2bed/2bath in JP (1150+ sq feet) work out to about $10k annually.

Your taxes with the residential exemption are 10k? That seems really high. I own a house and my taxes with the exemption are about $1600.

$10k? That seems really high. After the residential exemption my property taxes on my 2 bed 1 bath in West Roxbury was (sold it a few months ago) $600/year.

Something doesn't add up. Our house is assessed at 1.2 million and our taxes are 9K.

The Boston tax rate is about $10.50/$1,000 but the residential exemption is probably $3K total per year. It can take 1-2 years after closing for it to kick in. Bostons tax rate and exemption are great but that is primarily because the commercial tax base pays a huge part. Most suburbs don’t have that tax base diversity and soak homeowners.

Also assessed values generally lag market values by 10-20%.

You might be paying taxes for your entire building.
