Owning property or working there does not make you a
resident.
As a property OWNER, you pay taxes but unless you RESIDE IN THAT PROPERTY, you can't vote in elections that affect it (ask those in Berkeley
).
But your tenants CAN.
In some jurisdictions, there are Payroll taxes (on the pay stub) on employees working in a jurisdiction. But again, they can't vote unless the reside in that same jurisdiction.
Oh and the one that gets me riled: Transients (AKA Hotel) tax. This is in addition to the property tax paid by the landlord. (and at a higher rate than the local Sales Tax)
