This is already the case. You are merely a caretaker of property. You cannot do much without asking various local government offices for permission. Once you are forced to ask permission to do something on "your property", it no longer belongs to you.

Yup, I’ve been battling a tree ordinance here. Most individuals in this community had the developer clear cut their lots. I thought a few trees here and there plus along the property lines were perfect. Time went on and the nice middle of property trees have become a nuisance or worse. One nuisance came down during a hurricane a few years ago and just missed taking out half our home but I could not remove it without cause before the storm.
We have no recourse except using a few railroad spikes and letting nature take its course. Irony is the ordinance was passed by those with the clear cut lots because they “like trees”.
And if I don’t fork over 4 months of income for my ever increasing property tax, the government will kick me out of “their” house that I built.
