Is It Permissible to Charge a Real Estate Tax?

I observed a fee called “Real Estate Taxes” on my January rent invoice and reached out several times to my apartment management. Today, I finally received a response from one of the supervisors. I was not informed ahead of time about any added charges resembling lifestyle fees. Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Is it valid for them to bill this fee while labeling it as a tax?

Hey, that fee is really puzzling. I’m curious if management is just wording it in a fancy way or if there’s an actual tax involved. Have you looked into local regulations on such fees? It might be cool to hear others’ experiences too.
