    Council tax doesn’t pay for any of the things that property taxes do. The USA also has separate taxes for bin collection etc

      You’re paying for local services and the amount you pay is based on the value of your home. HTH

        Yea but notably property taxes pay for schools in the USA, council tax pays for roads, lights, bins etc

        In the UK you don’t get to go to a better school just because your house costs more money
