Not sure what the reason is, heat, people, area where you live or what have you, personally, I don't mind the heat compared to the harsh cold, but the humidity is something I don't seem to like, well if there is no breeze, we can get awful hot and humid for the next 3 months, but we also get times when it clears out, the air is crisp cool and clean. Winters can be miserable, but you prepare for them, its not so bad unless you have livestock, that can be real tough.
I will say the land taxes between the town, county for almost 100 acres here, will more than likely end being able to enjoy this land, its almost $10,000/year, and 20 acres of it is protected wetland, our pond. You basically rent it from the county and town, and its not cheap at $800 per month. Mind you, upstate NY, PA, NJ and nearby is beautiful, in the rural or farming areas, you can't deny that, its just the rent, well where I'm at, A42 Agricultural zoning, and thats does not include the house that's another few thousand, I hate to look and know the exact figures on these bills more than once a year LOL ! Well I did get the assessment down on the house, it was even higher. Taxes alone are absolutely ridiculous, the system here needs a enema, that includes the politicians. You can't have land, a nice home without a good paying job, cripes the taxes are more than a darned mortgage payment or what once was a reasonable payment. Anyone who has land 30 years or more, at least has a chance cause the bank is paid, but I cannot imagine paying the acquisition costs, financing the same acreage, and adding the taxes on top without a darned good paying job, which is like finding hens teeth locally.
This kind of opportunity is getting the door slammed shut. You want reasonable taxes, the next town over is much less, but further from places and services you may need. Want reasonable taxes live in the nearby city, in a brownstone, in a bad neighborhood, with a tiny back yard against a public alley way, been there and done that.
Anywhere from Albany & southeast along VT, Mass, Conn. border is high dollar real estate, beautiful areas, with views and awesome terrain, soils, just outrageously expensive. I worked in NYC for over 15 years over six figures, and you do about the same as putting a rope around your neck, cinching it real tight if one was to attempt to afford most of these places.
Either you go way north, but that's the adirondacks, or central, western, maybe the southern tier or similar, I know taxes are not so bad going out I-90 in those counties, but then again I may be way off. Well I did NOT write here intending to complain LOL but its a stiff tariff to have something nice in this area, and you don't get sh$t in return for it, town gets a few thousand a year, then sends a flyer out asking people to not put so much brush out for collection, they do fine on clearing the snow, but for the money you give them the scale is balanced in their favor, hard to see the benefits, but don't be late with their money LOL!
The up side is, at least our place, I would not trade it for the world, problem is those tax bills never cease, sooner or later it just seems it will be too much and that will be the end of it, sure as heck wish it was not that way, me living in a condo complex or houses 20 feet from the next property line is not a good thing LOL !!
Definitely research the high dollar line items in all places you consider, it will be worth the extra effort to see what you are dealing with.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
