I'm from Wisconsin and all of our school districts are funded by property tax, i was under the impression that all states did this. I could be wrong though, by my economics teacher implied that it was that way.

Washington state seems like a pretty good place to teach.  The state will subsidize 1/2 the cost of a teacher's house purchase... and they will do that every 5 years, so you can keep trading up & up and build quite the home investment.

Property assessments in a county serve as the basis for three levels of property taxes: county, municipal, and school district. Tax millage rates for a county are set by the respective county authorities. Municipal tax millages are set by individual municipalities. School tax millages are set by local school boards. The amount of property taxes you will owe are based on a combination of your assessed property value and the millage rates of the municipality and school district in which you live. So, even if you are looking at the Property taxes for a home in one part of a county, it can differ from the property taxes for the same value of home in a different municipality and/or school district.

I voted no on raising taxes and incurring more bond debt and also no when they wanted to raise parcel tax.  Let's get the debt down before incurring mroe and this time it wasn't millions it was billions.  It won't help education or schools or road whatever they were for.\n\nIt took 10 years for the local bond money to get to the schools and it was LOCAL.  how long before that supposed money goes thru the state?  20-25?  All the while interest incurs and the money is wasted.

I was forced to sell my home after 23 years. I could not pay the taxes. $2000 per year. I don't have kids in school and I refuse to pay for your kids to get Golf and Tennis lessons free. I also refuse to pay for your kids sports. In Ohio they took $40 million from public schools and gave it to private schools. The Neocons call it vouchers. In fact it's redistribution of my wealth. I will never pay school tax again in my lifetime. My property Taxes went up 5 times over 10 years under Republicans in the State.

Well, the department of education doesn't really put that much money into schools.  Look at each individual state government to get a better feel

There are none.  The closest equivalent would be if there are charter schools in your area. Otherwise, you'll have to inquire at each private school individually. You also may be able to work out a payment plan or work for the school in exchange for a tuition discount.\n_______________\nan exception is if your child is special ed and the public system has no equivalent program, your township may pay the tuition.

Bottom line--a school is a business.  You have not contributed to the school via state and local taxes.

They keep that money. You can claim local taxes as a deduction on federal taxes though.

You can give it to the school district.  Or you can just give it to the office at the school.

County and city governments provide police, fire, and ambulance services, libraries, parks and recreation, schools, a variety of infrastructures, such as streets, signs, lights, etc., business licenses, health inspections, building inspections, animal control, sometimes utilities such as gas, garbage, electricity, water, public transportation... the list goes on and on.\n\nThey are funded mostly through property taxes, but also sales taxes, federal and state grants, rarely income taxes, and a variety of fees for services.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEDUCT SOME OF YOUR TUITION AND SUPPLIES.  YOUR SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE SENT YOU A FORM FOR TAXES!

Your question is not completely clear. Do you think you pay a tax when you buy the house? Or are you asking about the yearly property tax that you must pay if you own property in a specific county.?
