Inground Pool Impact on Taxes and Insurance?

[Anthony M.]

I am currently in the process of purchasing my first duplex and the property comes with an inground pool. It is not functional so instead of fixing it I plan on removing it completely and filling in the area with grass.  I was wondering if anyone could help me estimate the cost of property taxes and insurance after I remove the pool.  I recently got a claim for $1200 a year for insurance (which I thought was high) and about $3400 a year for property taxes with the pool.  Will removing the pool have a significant impact on these prices?
