Does a renter of a house have to pay property taxes on it?

The answer technically is "NO" because the owner of the house pays the taxes. However, if it is stated in the lease that the renter signs, and the owner charges the property taxes, the answer would be yes. But, technically the owner legally pays property taxes on their home. If a renter signs a lease with this Worded as such, the owner is scamming you and your rent will be higher than it should be. Do not sign it!
