Fair? Property taxes are basically community and school taxes. This means richer neighborhood can afford better schools and teachers while inner city neighborhoods are on the bottom of the barrel.

Fair, Collected by county, city and state governments, as well as school districts, these taxes cover the cost of community services such as police salaries, park maintenance and school construction. Taxes on property make up the biggest chunk of income for local municipalities. And they may have gotten a raise recently. Collected property taxes hit an all-time high in 1999, according to a report from the Tax Foundation, a Washington-based nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that monitors government fiscal policy.
