Property taxes renter vs owner. Where do they go?

[Melissa Dorman]

Hey all, 

I've been contemplating the impact that gentrification and real estate investing have in under served communities. I'm curious if anyone knows.... I heard that counties/states property taxes go to benefit schools, parks, etc of local neighborhoods/counties. If you buy properties outside of your county/state, do the property taxes still go towards these things? Or are they redistributed to where you live? 

In other words, does it negatively impact the neighborhood tax resource wise if I buy properties outside of my county and rent them out?
