In point of fact, if he rented a slip, he still paid no property taxes, he just paid rent. This is the same as apartment dwellers, they do not pay property taxes. They just pay rent.
The property owner pays the taxes. Just because the cost is passed on to the renter doesn't mean he pays the taxes. Now of some part of the rent is earmarked for those taxes, then you'd be correct.
Or if in fact when the owner pays taxes and provides an invoice stating "This tax money is for the Sloop John B, this money is for the Kon Tiki, this money is for the British Ship Hood, then I'd agree, the renter pays the tax with his rent.
If the taxes aren't payed, do they come after the renter? No.
Does the property owner not pay taxes on vacant apartments or slips? No.
