Yup, I'm a dual US/UK citizen. I equate council tax with property tax, the major difference being renters are liable for council tax as well, and in the states the property tax is usually built into the cost of rent. The property tax in the states is also based on the valuation of the home, updated by an assessor every 10 years or so. Interest rates are still universal for mortgages AFAIK.
