Property taxes

Warren County runs among the lowest effective property-tax rates in the region - roughly 1.1%–1.5% of value a year. On a $395K home that's about $362–$494/mo. Your exact bill depends on the school district and exemptions like STAR and veterans' credits.

School districts

Lake George is served primarily by the Lake George Central School District. The district drives a big part of your tax bill, so it's always worth confirming the exact lines for a specific address.

You may not need 20% down

Brian works with 3% & 5%-down conventional, FHA (3.5% down), zero-down VA & USDA (much of Lake George and the rural parts of Warren County qualify for USDA), and SONYMA first-time-buyer loans with down-payment assistance. First-time buyer? He'll line up every credit you're eligible for.
