It's threads like this that remind me there are some really good points to being domiciled in NY State. No personal property taxes, and with the various available property and school tax exemptions for seniors, veterans, etc, the taxes on our lakeside cottage on 2 acres in the Adirondacks are only about $1500/year. And our motorhome's weight based registration fee is just $70/year for vehicles over 6951 lbs, although some counties do collect supplemental fees of $5-$25/year in addition to the base fee.
