Yearly property taxes never made sense to me. So you supposedly bought and own something, except if you don't pay the government then they can just take it away.
I don't know about where you live, but here the property taxes pay for the locality's services: streets, parks, city employes salaries, snow removal, garbage removal, summer camp, community center, etc. So this taxe is very useful. Now, it needs to be well managed and it's a whole other topic.
