If you're going to restrict voting to property owners, then no taxes of any kind can be levied on non-property owners. Property owners would have to pick up sales taxes and the like (if there are any).

Personally, I'm kind of partial to the poll-tax idea, myself. People tend to treat with greater respect, that which they're obliged to pay for.
