Property Taxes
Property owners pay property tax to the municipality for services like garbage collection, policing and fire protection. The property tax amount is based in part on the property's value.
It is good to be aware that sometimes lenders require a mortgage borrower to add the property tax to their regular mortgage payments. In this case, the lender pays the taxes to the municipality.
