As long as you are forced to pay property tax, the property is NOT yours.
Can't disagree, however, one needs to pay for services received, such as schools, sewers, sidewalks, street lighting, police, library, etc.
Problem is greedy politicians abused that by ever increasing tax rates and property assessments to spend on their own pet projects, not for the betterment of the average taxpayer.

Over 2/3 of my property tax bill goes to the schools when we home school our children. 1/3 of the taxes we pay for fire protection is wasted on the next township over that does not have a fire department. I pay for a lot of services that I don’t receive. Let me rephrase that, I pay for a lot of theft by my local government.
