Re: I am a 1 issue voter

apostate wrote:If landlords were making tax payments on behalf of their tenants, no property taxes would be owed when the house is vacant. However, that is not the case. The property owner pays the same property taxes whether or not they have a tenant. Therefore, it's clearly inaccurate to say landlords are making tax payments on behalf of their (perhaps nonexistent) tenants.
My point was that the tenants are, in effect, paying taxes.

Re: I am a 1 issue voter

MANY of those who ARE customers of that district are not homeowners, and so they do not pay any property tax toward the support of the schools. As for their landlords, they may not be customers of the ISD either, but they're still paying into it.
I think a more accurate way to look at it is that the landlords are making tax payments on behalf of their tenants. Certainly, the amount of tax they are going to have to pay goes into their calculations of how much rent they need to charge.
