After the Mortgage is paid off on a foreclosure household, What bills do I still have to pay yearly?

I tried looking up clear answers but I getting mixed ones. People on here are saying a person who owns a house after paying off the mortgage only has to pay for -

Insurance fee
Maintenance Tax
Property Tax

Some other people are saying that a owner would just have to worry about the yearly property fee.

Now, I understand the yearly Insurance fee is important but is it a good idea to build a fense around your property to prevent someone from injuring on your property so you wouldn’t have to deal with a person from sewing you?

Also, what is the maintenace tax all about? is this not madatory like the yearly insurance fee?
I’m located in Milwaukee Wisconsin

   Maintenance sounds like HOA fees, some neighborhoods have them.

   It varies from state to state:

   Property Tax & School Tax= normally combined
   Maintenance tax- which is trash removal
   (Unless you live in a townhouse or condo and have to pay maintanance fees for the roof, snow removal, lawn care.. ect)

   And Insurance if you chose to have it- Insurance is not manitory but a good idea if your house burns down.

   Different states tax on different thing- were are you located?
