Reported the problem and all they do is fill some of the holes which is only a temporary fix until the winter snow plows come and we will have holes again. My question is.... Where does the $30,000 in property taxes go each year that all the property owners pay combined that live on this street?

The city collects approximately 20% of the total property tax amount. That means of the $30,000 you believe is paid by the folks on your street, around $6,000 goes to the city. Out of that $6,000, they provide Police, Fire protection and Public Works services. (Forestry, patching, storm sewer maintenance, snow plowing) etc., and whatever you don't see too.
In contrast, the school district sees about 53% of the taxes collected, whether you have kids in school or not.
