What do property taxes look like in Orange County, NY?
They depend on the town, the village if there is one, and above all the school district. Two houses at the same price in different districts can carry very different tax bills. Always get the actual tax bill for the house.
For a town-level look, see property taxes in Goshen and property taxes in Middletown.

If you are buying in Orange County: what should you know first?
Houses sold for about 100 percent of their final asking price county-wide, so there is little room on the best houses. The bigger savings come from choosing the right town and school district for your budget.
Read the mistakes we see buyers make, the true cost of buying a home here, and our latest on mortgage rates. Building is an option too: see new construction homes and our buyers guide.
If you are selling in Orange County: how should you price and when?
We studied this with Orange and Sullivan County MLS data. Start with how should I price my house to sell, how long it takes to sell a house, and whether to underprice.
Then the best time to sell, why some houses are not getting offers, and capital gains tax on a home sale. Here is how we market a house and our guarantee.
