Good Morning Toro. As a single person with no kids and a homeowner I briefly wrestled with this same idea when I bought the house. I recieved my first bill and felt like arguing but I realised that hey I am doing my part to help society along. There are lots of other taxes I dont like paying but school/property tax is for the benefit of the country. Who knows, maybe some day I will find a good women and have a child then I will be glad that my kid can get an education. Bye for now. Enki  |

I agree with Enki, unfair as it may seem it's something that we all should view as our duty.
I paid them long before I was married with kids.

Parents don't have a choice on whether or not to send their kids to school. Education is a commodity and kids are the future. It's your duty to ensure the education of the generation that will fund your SS.  |

Absoulutely they should. I'd much rather see my tax money going for something worthwhile like education then some of the other things the government spends our tax money on. *** bad kitty *** |

I put up a post about this subject about a month ago.Basically i was talking about how the tax burden should fall on all,not just homeowners.More people would buy homes and i think the schools would make out better.As for single people with no kids paying property taxes,well all the no children homeowners i know don't care about paying to educate our children.**smiles**

Everyone does pay property taxes, renters pay it in higher rental rates. Hugo |

Actually the tax burden does fall on all not just homeowners. Yes even renters because the cost is passed on by the apartment owners, ect..... |
