It's legal tender and must be accepted. I wonder if this excuses him from having to pay?

If you don't pay your property taxes in pennies you're a statist.

I dream of doing shit like this. One day, I'm going to personally drive a truck bed full of pennies to the IRS to pay my taxes.
Then I'll sue them when they don't accept it

I don't understand the point.

Property taxes should be completely outlawed.
The idea that a government can charge you a fee for owning property, every year, is absurd, ludicrous, and ultimately criminal. It's one of the worst abuses of government that we have become conditioned to accept as normal and ordinary. |

He made a good point. Often times, we really don't see exactly how much money is going towards property and school taxes. "It's just part of the mortgage."
Good on him. It's a ridiculous amount of money with often way too much waste. This goes for all taxes, not just local school taxes. |

OK, this is local to me, and I have no sympathy for this guy. Robert Fernandes, a father of three, moved to Forks Township [PA] a year ago from Warren County [NJ], seeking lower property taxes for a larger home that could also house his elderly parents. Fernandes commutes to work as an IT manager for a company in Bedminster Township, N.J., while his wife home-schools the children, ages 7, 4 and 1. Fernandes says he got a great deal on a short sale when he bought his home, but his annual property taxes total nearly $10,000. Reached by phone Tuesday, Fernandes said he doesn’t want to pay $7,143 in school taxes. Just another immigrant from NJ moving into Free America and gradually turning it into West Jersey. If you didn't do your research about the taxes on the home you bought, that's your problem. |

Get the damn school district taxes out of it and have people pay for their individual children's education. My property tax for the county and city are 267.72. However the taxes from just the local school district are 671.68. I don't have children and being forced to pay for other peoples children and the end of a gun is bullshit. |

My county (and hospital) gets about 15% of my tax bill. The rest goes to the school district and water authority. I have no kids and have a well.

They don't have to accept it. Coinage act of 1965 stopped it. The law says it is legal tender, but nowhere does it say the other party has to accept it. Same law that allows airlines not to accept cash for inflight sales, and allows convenience store to not accept $100 bills.
