Other jurisdictions may have significant fines they can levy for doing this.

I've just seen too many unrepped buyers who think they're getting a discount by going directly to the listing agent, but they usually actually leave money on the table or screw up in one way or another without even realizing it (negotiating poorly/ not negotiating at all when they should, paying fees the seller typically pays, missing deadlines, misinterpreting inspection reports, not getting a sewer scope or radon or other things like a meth test or structural report or consulting a lawyer when appropriate, selecting most recent mill levy instead of prorated taxes for last calendar year when taxes went up 30% since last year are just a few examples I've seen personally).

Hey @Levi Chuculate, Taking ownership draws from a fund have less to do with taxes (unless you would like to discuss the tax implications of receiving that income) and more to do with your operating agreement and bylaws.

No, I understand and appreciate how and why property taxes are levied.

I wanted to tell the guy to get out of his car and clean up his mess but by the time I hit that part of the conversation it was already cleaned up.It's been an ongoing problem with pigs heaving their fast food garbage out their car windows instead of walking 50' over to the garbage can, and when I actually caught someone doing it I just lost it.I've got some pretty hi-res cameras out there now and have levied fines against several tenants for not putting their trash in the dumpster.

I have poured hours and hours into the finance contract, deed, est sheet, amort sched, excise crap for the transfer taxes, etc.  

Quote from @Lauren Olicker: Thankfully, all of these grand assessments are now levied, and those selling have either paid or will pay them at closing. 

Property Taxes: These are local taxes levied by the county or municipality on real estate.

Property tax is levied by the local municipality and needs to paid by the owner, regardless of where they live.

The city is delusional to levy such high taxes as if it's Seattle, Miami or Austin.
