It's real tricky with a new house that doesn't have a history. Our taxes went from 5k to 8k.
That’s typical for new construction. Often the land only is assessed in the first year and both house and land assessed the second year, creating a spike. A lot of folks get got when it’s either not explained to them at closing or they don’t t pay attention. It really should be mandated that the estimated taxes on house+land be factored into mortgage for the first year to avoid those surprises.

I have both my property taxes and home insurance bundled thru costco's insurance program.

my car insurance is $700 for 6 months currently (dropped from $900 in Jan)

my home insurance is $1980 for the annual premium.
Year make model? Because that's damn good.

the rate is locked, but we can still get fukked over by taxes and insurance. I was paying $1700 in property taxes a year 2 years ago, and now I'm paying $4700 a year.
That’s insane brother where are you?
