Default property taxes

I just received our property tax bill for the year and was wondering how much property tax others on here pay in comparison..
I know that it depends on the property value and municipality , and that I am trying to compare apples and pears, but I am curious to see how much or how little people pay per year.
ours was $1800 for the year in rural NS (Lunenburg County)


edited for better comparison> It's a newly renovated 3-BR house on a 2-acre waterfront lot, well and septic

$1950 for my older 3 bed 3/4 acre rural paradise.

The assessed value is around $165k IIRC, which may or may not reflect market value.
