If you don’t want to pay property taxes, then look for a place to own property where there is no government that needs to provide services to the people who live in their domain.

Well, you probably won’t be able to find such a place, and if you did, you’d probably end up being run out by the guys with bigger weapons, because there’d be no police force to enforce the law.

But anyway — I like the Texas model where old people just get their taxes added to the home and paid off when the old people sell or die.

I would like to see counties switch from a pure property tax to a “residence tax”. Each resident costs the same amount for the police to protect, so charge them each the same amount. Property tax pretends that the current value of your property reflects your current ability to pay. If you want to charge rich people more, throw in an income tax.
