Property taxes must be paid before you can register car. What do you do if you are a renter?
I noticed that some states, I saw the Delaware site, that your property taxes must be paid for the year, or you will not be allowed to renew your tabs on your car? What do renters do, and what does property taxes have to do with vehicle titles/registration? What if you lease a condo, but live in Maryland, do the Maryland taxes have to be paid?

The reality is you are not responsible for the taxes generally speaking if you are renting. The property owner is. If the owner is delinquent on their taxes, providing a lease agreement proving you are just renting should solve the issue. Good luck..
Property taxes pertain to houses, cars and valuables. Most people assess for their car and their property (land, houses). If you rent you only have to pay property taxes on your car and that's why many states make that mandatory for tag renewal. If you rent a house, the owner of the house pays the property taxes.
I dont know who would come up with that law. It sounds a bit weird to me. If you rent you do not have property taxes. But part of youir rent goes to the property taxes to the owner so I would say they are off the hook.
okay silly go have dinner this is not your problem but ill say i dintnt know that its like a domino effect on life how can this be done are you sure ive never been asked for them as proof while registering a car ever and if so how dare them to tap into another part of your life that damn dmv anyway
