Yes! All states should do this! There has to be a cutoff, pay for x number of years and then you’re done. It’s ridiculous that a person never really owns the property even if it’s paid off.
Years ago while I was still in college my mom moved back to Arkansas to be near her mom and sister. She was shocked that she had to pay taxes on all her furniture, her car that she'd bought and paid for in Texas, etc. Taxed coming and going.

Yeah it's ridiculous you have to pay tax on what you already own? Absolutely stupid.

I am shocked that's a thing too because that's inarguable theft and extortion.
Wait, run that back. She was paying taxes on furniture and stuff she was MOVING from her old place to her new?
Or was it newly bought at the new city?
Messed up either way, but different degrees.
There was a word for it, but I forget. It's like she had to do an inventory of her house contents and belongings and pay a state tax for it all.
I know property taxes suck. But it doesnt help when no one's fighting their property taxes either.
If everyone fought their property taxes, they wouldn't be so high. I fight mine and I don't use those stupid companies either.
