See:

,----[ C-h v org-use-property-inheritance RET ]
| org-use-property-inheritance is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| Non-nil means properties apply also for sublevels.
| 
| This setting is chiefly used during property searches. Turning it on can
| cause significant overhead when doing a search, which is why it is not
| on by default.
| 
| When nil, only the properties directly given in the current entry count.
| When t, every property is inherited.  The value may also be a list of
| properties that should have inheritance, or a regular expression matching
| properties that should be inherited.
| 
| However, note that some special properties use inheritance under special
| circumstances (not in searches).  Examples are CATEGORY, ARCHIVE, COLUMNS,
| and the properties ending in "_ALL" when they are used as descriptor
| for valid values of a property.
| 
| Note for programmers:
| When querying an entry with `org-entry-get',  you can control if inheritance
| should be used.  By default, `org-entry-get' looks only at the local
| properties.  You can request inheritance by setting the inherit argument
| to t (to force inheritance) or to `selective' (to respect the setting
| in this variable).
| 
| You can customize this variable.
