I probably sound like a broken record at this point but property tax is NOT the problem, it's the underlying land ownership (or lack thereof). In this country, nearly all land is actually owned by the government (federal, state, county, city) through a system called "fee simple" which is feudal style ownership.
In the "fee simple" ownership of property is only indefinite ownership of the equity of the property. That property is still technically owned by the entity from which you purchased the equity and, although that entity cannot take the land from you without compensation, they can force you to "sell" back for a "fair" amount.
The ONLY way to own property is through Allodial title which is, essentially, ownership between you and God. This is land you actually own, it can't be taxed, taken, or regulated.
Property tax is simply a symptom of a larger issue, Allodial title is the only way to fix it entirely. That said, I'm not sure this country could handle everyone being on Allodial title, so let's start with getting rid of property tax and see how that goes.

“ Allodial titles are a concept that refers to land ownership that is independent of any superior landlord. In the United States, it is technically not possible to have an allodial title, as the government will always have the ability to take the land from you using eminent domain – thereby making them the superior landlord. Some states have allodial titles in their constitution, but the government is still the overarching landlord if push comes to shove. In general, the highest land ownership title you can have is called a fee simple. It means you own the land and everything permanently attached to it outright and unconditionally. Additionally, you have the exclusive right to use, possess, and enjoy the property, as long as you comply with local zoning laws and regulations. In order to obtain this, you’ll need to go through the appropriate purchasing and legal process, which a real estate attorney and a real estate agent can both assist with.”
Nice. I was reading comments here to see if someone would actually address the real issue, which you have here and with a very good description. Funny though, the rest of the posts on this thread are still normy level complaining it's not fair and asking rhetorical sarcastic questions, why do they get taxes even if.....etc.etc. most people just simply don't take the time to try and understand root causes, rather complain about symptoms of the underlying ailment/issue. Evidence these control systems work so well and why.
