An Order to Show Cause is a method that a party may use to request that the court reopen their case, usually after a default judgment has been entered. A default judgment can be entered if a defendant fails to answer a summons, or fails to appear for trial or hearing.
The typical Suffolk County homeowner pays $10,000 annually in property taxes. That is due, in part, to high home values, as the median value in the county is $413,900. Even so, the average effective property tax rate in Suffolk County is 2.42%, far above both state and national averages.
In some circumstances, you can avoid a small portion of the transfer taxes. When selling a house or condo with a mortgage, your buyer can utilize a CEMA. Most of the CEMA savings will come from the buyer avoiding the mortgage recording tax but the seller also saves on the NYS transfer taxes.
