Actually, one of the founding principles upon which our Republic was established is the right to own property. A recurring tax makes that impossible. Government has no authority to levy a recurring property tax. Remember, government was instituted to protect our individual rights and serve us, not tax us to death and rule over us.

Recurring property taxes are responsible for more people losing their homes than you probably realize. It also makes owning a home impossible since there will always be a payment, even when the mortgage is paid in full. Many people can afford to pay when they are younger, healthy, and employed, but older people who are on fixed incomes often cannot.
