Don’t want to pay property taxes? Ok here’s all the services you won’t get or be able to use. If you do try, we’ll arrest you.

I’m waiting for the list…

Maybe we should list all the services that they do get.

It's definitely not waste, water, sewer, electricity hookups, or even a certificate of habitability, which the mortgage company would want. Also no police, fire, or access to schools, parks, sidewalks, street plowing/sweeping, tow services for cars parked across your driveway, heck, the city would be okay with removing the driveway access to the road.

I think what you'd get for free is very annoyed neighbors.

They also don't actually get any property, because the state isn't enforcing any property rights

water, sewer, electricity hookups

These are, in many parts of the US, provided by utility companies and not exactly funded by property tax.

This is true. Unfortunately, some of those require permits to set up, or if set up, payment in dollars, not forms.

There are a lot of people who don't pay properly tax and get all of those services, for example, people who rent.

You still pay income tax and sales tax.

Renters pay the owner’s property tax.

Ok, so then the owner isn't paying property tax.

In reality, the renter is not actually paying the property tax. They may be paying for it, but they are not the one paying the bill at the end of the year.

Edit: classic lemmy. The renter may be giving money to the landlord which covers the cost of the tax, however that is irrelevant. a renter by definition, does not own the property and therefore does not pay property taxes and yet, still is able to utilize public infrastructure. Just like how a person who doesn't have income is still able to use public infrastructure. Your ability to pay into the system does not preclude you from participating.
