They could raise a lot of money fast if they would allow people to make a discounted lump-sum payment to settle all future property taxes on homes. It would make the property’s resale value higher. Of course the state would squander the money quickly but at least a guy could feel like he really owned his home and wasn’t renting.
That lump-sum payment would have to be astronomically high. On the order of millions of dollars - even for just, e.g., a 2-bedroom single-family dwelling in the 'burbs. No sane person would voluntarily opt for that.
