It amazes me that we pay "property taxes" at all. But, people get scared that if they get to keep their own money and pay for services themselves their garbage won't get picked up or the firemen won't show up when their house is burning. As someone who spent a lot of my life in *very* rural America, we paid low taxes and had to deal with things on our own and somehow we did just fine. In my opinion, property taxes (like many other taxes) are to pay for government worker's salaries and retirements while offering substandard service (in a most cases) at inflated prices. What a disgusting scam. And yet, when offered to get rid of property taxes (as North Dakota did some years back) the people reject it.
i pay for my own garbage service to a private local company that picks up like clockwork! it's quite inexpensive too vs gov fleecing and associated subpar quality of services in general. at least the post office, insolvent as it is, charges for postage on a per usage basis and does a decent job vs public schools.
Yep. We used to pay for our own here where I am is well. Unfortunately, we got some monsters in charge that changed everything "for the earth". Now, if we roll the dumpster to the curb once every month or once a week it costs the same insane amount. Government destroys everything it touches.

I also pay for garbage service and a fire subscription to the volunteer fire department.
