I guess it depends a lot on where you are. My real estate tax bill has separate rates and line items for town, school district, county, and state. Some places have separate assessments on each district within a municipality. Some cities have their own sales and/or income tax. And then there can be local use fees, vehicle registration, and all sorts of other state/local taxes.

Yes, I have all that. My point is, if the appraisal district can't explain it to me & back up their math I don't have to pay it.

Contrast that with the bizarre game the IRS plays where your are basically expected to somehow prove you have paid your lot. Despite the IRS damn well having all the information about what you owe anyways.
