Here is what I philosophically object to most property taxes. To some degree they represent “taxation without representation”, because the controlling government units are elected only by voting residents, leaving non-resident property holders with no say so at all in the governments that set the property taxes. I think local laws should change, providing equal voting status to not just “residents” but all who are either residents and/or owners of local property, including one vote each for any commercial property owners who happen to not be residents.
