According to my bill, it looks more like 41 cents. Anyway, I usually pay about 175.00/month. I run a dehumidifier sometimes and sometimes an electric heater. I use an electric dryer maybe once a week. Clothes won't dry on a line in Volcano. I helps to use only the squiggly light bulbs. I also have an electric stove but don't use the oven much. Hot water is propane on demand which I find very efficient.
If you are living in the house, you get a homeowners exemption on taxes. If you are over 60, they go down even further. Ag land costs slightly more than residential zoning. You can see what folks in your area are paying for taxes at the country real estate tax site.
Contrary to popular belief, it can be far less costly to live here than on the mainland.
