I take it you don’t have waterfront property.
But your idea as to how local governments shall be funded?
All income earned, investment, pension or otherwise shall be considered taxable.
All moneys collected shall be spent as follows:
1% shall be placed aside for use in case of formally declared war or national emergency.
2% shall be used to retire any debt the government may have occurred before the passing of this amendment.
Of the remainder one half shall be used to fund the US military and the remainder shall be spent in the way the US congress deems fitting.
No moneys shall be borrowed by the federal government to continue the normal working of the federal government.
In case of formally declared war by the Congress the tax rate may be raised to 12%.
In case of formally declared war by the Congress moneys may be borrowed but will be used only to fund the military. Any congress critter that tries to do otherwise shall be thrown down the steps of the Capital and then hung by the neck until dead.
If you tie taxes to government salaries, gov salaries will skyrocket.
Amendment: Any time there is an annual trade deficit a mandatory 20% across the board import tariffs will be collected until such time there is a trade surplus.

$0 - $9,700 10%
$9,701 - $39,475 12%
$39,476 - $84,200 22%
$84,201 - $160,725 24%
I believe those are the January 1, 2019 rates of interest for single filers.
No man is ever free if he must pay the government for permission to live in his own home or on his own land. Any amendment must eliminate all taxes and the ability of any future government or governmental entity to levy any tax or fee on the real property of any individual or family. No exceptions for size or location or use.
