In the US the amount of property tax depends on the assessed value of the property and the tax rate. The rate varies with the locality and the assessment is supposed to be a certain percentage of the selling value. Not all owners pay their taxes, but it they do not, the property is sold at auction.

Not directly. The owner of the property is responsible for paying the property taxes. However, you should understand that how much rent you pay is determined, in part, by how much property tax the owner pays. In other words, the owner needs to charge enough rent to cover his costs (taxes, maintenance, insurance, mortgage payments, etc.). Otherwise, he is losing money on the property.

Does a renter of a house have to pay property taxes on it?

The answer technically is "NO" because the owner of the house pays the taxes. However, if it is stated in the lease that the renter signs, and the owner charges the property taxes, the answer would be yes. But, technically the owner legally pays property taxes on their home. If a renter signs a lease with this worded as such, the owner is scamming you and your rent will be higher than it should be. Do not sign it!
