Just a little word on taxes in Rochester or probably anywhere. There are separate city and county taxes. No one will tell you this (when buying a house with a mortgage, the bank takes care of all of this in your escrow). You’ll get both bills separately at completely different times of the year. In case you’re ever interested in this information, you can find city tax for a property here. Oh look, $704.12 to shovel 40 ft. of sidewalk this year. Bargain! Anyway, you need to look here to see your Monroe County taxes, which are again, separate from the city. And there’s another $90.46 for something – not clear what, but probably the pleasure of being a 41’x100′ lot in Monroe County.
