In Ireland you pay for water if you live down the country or if your a farmer, you get to pay twice, one for the house and farm and once for the animals.
Its the Irish way, to be sure to be sure.

We don't have any charges for that, or ground rent or poll tax or anything like that, just rubbish bins.

Not up here. We don't need them. Donegal in mountainous and full of natural fresh water lakes. The government is talking about piping some of our water to other places now because there is a shortage in some of the cities
There may be plants in places like Dublin or Cork or such.

In england people have to pay a tax just for living there. Differing rates depending on where, what services they get and such. Everyone has to pay, not just houseowners, businesses and such.
In Ireland we don't have to pay that.
Ground rent was a payment to the government for the amout of sq ft your property stood on. It is only payable by businesses now.

No ground rent, no poll tax.
I would dig a well but its expensive to dig and to maintain, if I take water out of the river I have to pay for that too. And in Ireland we are way drowning in the stuff.
Ihope to build big tanks and use it for watering the garden, washing stuff etc,
my bill this year is €250.
about USD$125.00 per year

In England the poll tax is a rip off, where I live it is just under a £1000 a year if I live just 3 miles up the road it is over £1250 a year in US $ thats twice as much!!!! just for living in an area !
as for the water don't get me started.... I am lucky enough to have a house older than 10 years old so I pay water rates which is enough, but a person I know lives uo the road in a "new house" and has a water meter

I have to say this because it's relevant.Taxes generally reflect,shool systems,police,fire department quality.And yes resale values.
I would imagine it's the same overseas.
