You can retire. You can pay off your mortgage. But if you stop paying property taxes, the government comes for your land. That’s not just theft—it’s tyranny.

From a pro-liberty perspective, property taxes violate the very foundation of individual liberty and private property rights. If true ownership is the cornerstone of a free society, then no government has the moral authority to charge citizens for the right to live on land they’ve already purchased. //

Property tax for those who pay, is effectively income tax. Unless the property is income-producing, which is unlikely, the money to pay comes from income. The big problem, to me, is the annual "assessment" which is arbitrary and ALWAYS goes up. In my 14 years on my current property, my tax has doubled, from less than 2K per year to more than 4K. My state has an income tax too. If the real estate market declines, the assessor might lower the valuation, but it takes two years for me to realize the difference, which is minimal. The next year, it goes right back up. This scam should end, but it won't. Government pigs need to keep the trough filled.
