Congrats on the new house Jennie.

Here's some food for thought though, I sold my house in Fresh Meadows back in '98 and moved to Mineola. At the time the taxes were not bad, $3850 to be exact. It's been seven years and my taxes are at $6500 and still going up cause the houses are assessed every year (thank you Souzi) and the school budgets are also increased yearly.
