I know their rates will be higher because the owner has to pay property taxes but does a renter actually have to pay anything directly to the government?

Renters pay the property taxes indirectly. It is in the rent. But the landlord gets to deduct it from his income tax.

YES YES YES! How do we as Americans stand for this!!?? The founding fathers would give us all a swift kick in the @ss for allowing this to happen! THIS is never what they intended for us. The government owns all property in reality, and I must pay them for the privilege to stay there. I must make 2 house payments. 1 to the bank and 1 to the government! And if I don't, the government can strip me of my possessions, garner my wages, and if they are not content with that, unceremoniously give me the boot and sell off MY house to collect what they deem "theirs." It sounds more like the Mafia to me. And I am NOT against paying taxes. We all need to pay taxes for the services we enjoy, but they should be FAIR taxes that we can all understand and predict. Not arbitrary "charges and fees" that we can never tell what they're for or where the hell the money is going. I don't like having my pocket picked. And on top of it all my property taxes have literally DOUBLED since we moved in 4 years ago, and we have yet to even make any changes to the house or property! When we bought it we were paying $830 in property tax and it has risen to $1685. And I have ANOTHER assessment coming up in the spring! OMG now I could just spit nails. What can we do about this???!!!

We rent but we still have to pay personal property tax. That is the tax you pay for owning a vehicle or if you own a boat also, I think. Hope that helps.

Can a landlord have their tenants sign a form for property taxes

Residential tenants in the US do not pay the property taxes. Commercial real estate is often different; it's very common for a commercial tenant to have to pay the real estate taxes.
