The nice thing about renting is that you don’t pay property tax.

You do indirectly, as it’s factored into the rent.

You are indirectly paying the property tax for your landlord. Your landlord paid the property taxes, and all the tenants helped pay the those taxes along with other operating expenses of the property. Your rent is higher than it would be otherwise to help the landlord afford the property taxes.

Sure you do. You pay your Landlord's property tax.

You may not be writing the check to your local property tax assessor, but rest assured you ARE paying the property tax in your rent payment. And your landlord gets the tax break by deducting that as an operating expense, not you.

Oh yes you do. Your rental fee covers the landlord’s property taxes. It may be a smaller % especially if it’s a building shared with other tenants but your indirectly paying property taxes.

Some of the tax is in your monthly rental, every month. Don’t think the landlord is going to pay that, himself. You’ll get some of it, too.

Money is fungible. You pay your landlord who pays the bureaucracy.

Bottom line: you pay.

“The nice thing about renting is that you don’t pay property tax.”

100% of the property tax of any property that one rents is built into the rent ... along with depreciation, maintenance, general overhead, owner’s mortgage payments, AND profit to the corporation or owner of the property ... period ...

It’s in your rent somehow.

Well, you do, it’s just included in the rent.

I knew there were plenty of people who post before reading all the comments (I’ve done it too), but this thread appears to be setting a record.

Correct. You also avoid the cost of house insurance and any maintenance costs. It's really the way to go, to cut costs.

It also works when leasing a car.
