Property taxes add to the cost of ownership: the county's median property tax rate of 1.49% is higher than the state rate of 1.23% and well above the national rate of 0.74%, so owners carry a heavier tax load than in most places.

Assignment and release records show what happens to a mortgage after it is recorded. An assignment documents the transfer of a mortgage from one lender or loan holder to another, while a release shows that a loan was paid off and the lien removed from the property.
