Why would there be an initial tax? Did the government produce the property? Did they increase it's value? Did they do anything? If not, why would the government get a cut? If another person comes along and improves it more and then sells it, why does the government get a cut again?
Every time a home (or anything else a person already owns) is sold and a third party that didn't add anything useful to the sale gets a cut, that's called racketeering in any other context. Why is the government excluded from that otherwise criminal activity?
Why? Because the incorporated entity, municipal, county, city, federal or other, owns the land still. Property tax is essentially a use tax. As someone finally pointed out in here. Allodial title or land patents are just about the only way to own your land outright. Without it everyone is simply renting the space of ground and you own the structure or right to trespass.
I agree with your statements, but I don't know why you said "Why?" Was there something I said that you think was contrary? If so you will have to be more specific.
No not contrary. "Why" was what preceded the string of questioning you started with in the post. I was replying to that aspect of it and to why "government" gets a cut. Which isn't actually government, its incorporated entities such as the city, county etc.

All governments (as we use the term) are incorporated entities (incorporeal AKA non-existent entities made falsely corporeal through the fiction of law).
It is possible to have a government that isn't an incorporeal entity (recognizing the responsibility of the people involved in governance) but it would need some fundamental changes. In the context here (there's a great deal more to talk about on this), we'd have to understand what "law" means (a mutable guiding principle, like grease to lubricate Sovereign entities in their social interactions and not a "rule" which is a profound lie) and that any law that attempts to "govern" through law (a fiction) is automatically fraudulent, attempting to subvert our Natural Rights using a lie.

Good point.
Does this explain it?
