Best Answer

No, you don't directly pay real estate taxes when you rent a home. You don't receive an assessment notice from the local assessor and get the tax bill. However, you do pay real estate taxes indirectly in your monthly rent. Real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other costs are taken into consideration by landlords when they determine the amount of rent they need. Luckily there is also competition from other available rental units, so the landlord can't ask too much in rent.

Who pays school taxes and who is exempted?

People in the surrounding community pay school taxes. Those who have children and those who do not, all have to pay the school taxes. It's pretty much on where you live. The people that are exempt are those who are less fortunate in the government's eyes. People who live in government housing and other such areas. That is why some areas have higher school taxes than others. The more people exempt from paying the tax, the higher the tax is for the people who actually have to pay for it. To further my reasoning: My uncle and his wife never had kids, but they still had to pay school taxes their entire lives because of the location of their home.
