Homeowners tax: Based on the evaluation, I pay $51 for every $1,000. The next town (four miles away) pays $22 for every $1,000.

Car insurance: Just as in the UK, depends on the insurer, where you live history, age and condition of the vehicle...etc... What I pay is irrelevant as I doubt you'll own a 2003 Subaru Outback and live in Up-State New York.

Medical Insurance: Depending on the level of service you're after, this could be between $15 a month and $200 a month (but this depends on the past medical history of the insured people, whether you have employer contribution...etc...). Beyond that, you may or may not have a co-pay in addition to the monthly insurance cost (generally, the lower the monthly payment, the higher the co-pay). If you're after the "extra" package, it'll be up the high end.


As said before, it varies from person to person and from location to location. Each state has it's own laws regarding some of this stuff... Some counties and even TOWNS have their own rules regarding these sort of things.


Now... Get your visa sorted out and feel free to come back when you have more questions. :)

Give a lot more info, and you'll get it in return. You can't be vague and expect people to just guess!

I'd say putting $200 a month as the top range for health insurance is a bit off. I know one quote for my wife, me and my son was over $1000 a month and we're all relatively young with no health problems so you probably want to look in to that a lot more.
