In the UK, we have “Council tax”. This is a flat, all-encompassing fee (usually paid each month), which helps fund local services such as waste collection, policing, schools, etc. Based on your area and (somewhat your) property value, your property is placed into a “Band”. This ranges from A (lowest) to H (highest). According to Google AI, in England, the average council tax for a Band D property was £2,280. That sounds about right, as my previous property was C, and we paid £2,352 annually.
Incidentally, most (if not all) council taxes are going up soon. Hoora!
How does it work in your country? Would you consider it expensive? Do you feel the money is well invested / spent?
