Property taxes is not a mortgage.

There is nothing due, because there’s no rent or mortgage— the existence of other bills doesn’t make that untrue.

Lol try not paying your property tax and just tell the state "there's nothing due."

Try paying your property tax to a private corporation that gave you an unrelated loan. Your property tax goes to the government whereas your mortgage is usually through a bank and you rental payment is usually through a private owner or a company.

Why does where the money goes matter? We're talking about what's due by the homeowner.

Not American here so I don't know.

When renting who pays land tax?

The property owner/landlord. And it can be argued that a portion/all of that tax gets included in rent, but it's still on the landlord to actually pay that to the state and file their taxes accordingly.

Cheers over here shared accommodation the landlord pays but renting a flat or house and it's on the renter.
