Renters do pay property tax. The landlord includes it in the rent.
Yes, and I pay corporate taxes, they are baked into everything I buy. So what. Renters do not see their property taxes, they do not get notified of property tax increases, and they don’t have to cut a check directly. A LOT of renters treat property taxes as taxes on “the rich” that they don’t have to pay (since they don’t see a cause/effect relationship) and therefore vote for things that if they actually knew how much it would cost them, they would say no to.
