I pay rent to my landlord, who in turn pays property taxes on the property that I rent.

If I also had to pay a tax/fee/whatever, wouldn't that be double-dipping?

EDIT: According to the county auditor's website, my landlord paid 12,218.12 in property taxes last year for the building I live in.

Again, it is not a tax but a fee.

Why should I have to pay a fee on a building that I don't own?

Talk to a property manager because obviously you seem to think you are the only one who knows what they're talking about.

LOL... This has nothing to do with property management.

So, you're saying that renters should be liable for more taxes/fees/whatever than home owners?

A lot of people, myself included, rent because we can't yet afford to own a home.

The title of the thread is "Revenue enhancing ideas" ideas: a formulated thought or opinion..

No, I am saying that the city should look at charging a residency fee to renters. Note the word fee.. Thanks for paying attention again Dave..

You are not liable for property taxes as a renter. So how are you more liable for taxes then a home owner at $100'S annually?

In a city that's known for high property taxes, that's the last thing we need.

Stephen, my rent pays for property taxes...so in effect I am liable, for the length of my lease.

This would not impact property taxes.

Earlier in the thread you said a registration fee than renters would be liable for - now it's a residency fee
