Property taxes came out last month for the counties my rental properties are in. One county I suppose learned its lesson about raising taxes during the government-imposed shutdown and kept rates the same, but the other counties spiked taxes (most of my properties are in a county that increased taxes 15%).

So, my renters are all getting rent increases. Why? Because everyone else is going to pass on rent increases to renters, so I will to unless I want this business to be not worth my time.

It's as if end users always pay every tax imposed on goods and services.
