Technically speaking, unless you have an allodial title you own absolute equitable interest in land, but not the land itself. Regardless of whether you pay taxes or not, you don't own your land in a fee simple system like we currently have in the US.
In other words, in a fee simple you own the right to do what you want with "your" land...except for rules, regulations, laws, taxes, liens, and eminent domain (when .gov decides they need it more than you do). So, our current ownership system is a joke, it's literally a carry over from the feudal era when a king let people "own" land. In this case the municipality your land is in generally owns it, the county owns the municipality, the states owns the county, and the federal government owns all of it (through the US corporation).
An allodial title, on the other hand, is absolute ownership beholden to no one except God himself. That is true ownership, everything else is partial as it's ultimately beholden to someone else.
You fix the title situation, everything else follows. Property taxes obviously need to go but they are simply the most egregious aspect of the fee simple system.
That's a good point. That would put individual property ownership at an equal level to the federal gov or any other entity. If implemented properly that would solve all those problems as any law that went against that right could be squashed on a constitute basis rather than case law or other law fare bs.

I am in favor of a Constitutional Amendment recognizing the right of the individual to own property.
I think that resolves the Fee Simple system, property tax, Eminent Domain, and anything else.
