(This annoys me since, as an apartment-dweller, I also have no lawn and yet I receive no tax credit.)

I see a lot of renters around me with kids, who are barely making ends meet. I suspect that they vote "yes" on school levys because they have kids and they don't think they pay property taxes. If only they knew, I think our last school levy would have gone from 51% yea/49% nay to 35% yea/65% nay. I don't know the facts on renters/voter percentage, but these are my suspicions.
I also see a reduction on my property tax bill labeled something like "homeowner residence" - it's basically a property tax reduction on my property for living in the house that I own. I suspect that this means that a property which is rented out does not receive this discount, and thus the renter actually pays higher property taxes than I, a homeowner, do.

I pay them every month, in the form of my rent check. The property manager takes a percentage, and passes the rest along.
Sidebar: Even with all of the safeties built in, I am amazed that any manufacturer is willing to produce and sell consumer-grade automatic spinning blades of doom which are designed to be left un-attended in an environment filled with puppies, small children, etc.
This is the sort of setup that mass-tort attorneys dream of.

Don't get the lengths to which people go to avoid mowing the lawn.
If you have a small lawn, use a push gas mower, move fast and treat it like extra workout.
If you have a huge lawn, buy a ride-on mower and sip a beer while you drive around.
If you have more money than time, hire a service.
Bing bang boom.
