$14K a year? You mean $1.4K ($1,400.00) don't you? Ripples of taxation concentricity emanating, in effect, from ground zero at the Empire State Building outwards.
$14,000/year is entry level for combined state & school district taxes in Nassau County - which is about 15 miles from the Empire State Building. And additional NYS income taxes to be levied on top of that.
Martha Stewart's farm in Bedford, Westchester County I could only guess at, maybe $100K/year in taxes?
