What would happen if no one paid property taxes?
Property taxes are used to do many things within your town or borough. They use taxes to build and maintain roads, update sewage lines or other utilities they might provide, general maintence of the town and many, many other things. So, if we didnt pay taxes on our property, the town would reflect that, by bad roads and no maintence. The quality of living in your town would decrease immencely. That is not a good thing. But by owning a home in a town and paying taxes, the town would reflect a good quality of surroundings, which in the end, helps you with the value of your property as who wants to own property in a poorly maintained town? So, in the end, it helps you too. If monies are used correctly, it is a good thing for everyone concerned.
