When renting a house, who pays for property taxes?

Question

I’m trying to rent a house which I recently bought,

If I rent it. Am I suppose to charge property taxes separately? Or should that be included in rent?

Should I charge basic rent plus

-property taxes

-hoa?

-maintenance?

-anything else I’m missing?

I thought some of the pros would be able to guide me in the right direction as this will be my first rental...

Thanks!

You , the owner are responsible for the taxes . You don’t want to have

anyone else responsible for your legal responsibility .

it can be a disaster if they don’t pay taxes which are in your name .

Include it in the rent and pu t that amount aside each month .

Roll those costs into the rent.

As the others said, you pay them. Indirectly those costs are all factored into the rent, but you don't want the tenant to be responsible for directly paying them the same way they would the electric bill.
