Taxes are collected to help provide services. You may not have children but there are other people paying taxes for things that they don't have through which you benefit. So it all works out the same overall.

I agree with the above...taxes are what we pay to be part of a civilized society..they aren't paid to benefit only the one paying them, or even to go for things that the one paying them agrees with.

But I would note I consider the questioners position one of the most valid in defeating those people who insist they should be given credits or money to send their children to schools they want. If that has any basis, then absolutely correct, anyone without children should get at least that same amount of credit and money back in property taxes too. And very simply, as it is, it is my tax money being used to educate their children, and provide other benefits for them, and I don't want it used to provide any education I disapprove of...which is most religious ones to start. You want your children educated that way...send them yourself. And yes, still contribute to society.

My property tax payment should be for MY property tax only and not benefit anyone else. I have no small children. Also, my property tax increased by $117; not happy about that either!
