When you’re renting, you’re always also paying this tax indirectly. Its a tax of having a roof over your head, whether you own it or not*. So it has nothing to do with ownership.
I guess you can argue somewhere in the direction of “tax is theft”, but that’s a different discussion.
- kinda opposing my previous statement, I guess it would be more accurate to say that paying the tax directly to the government is kind of a proof of ownership.

It’s interesting to note that Puerto Rico doesn’t have property tax. When you pay off your home, the tax collector’s office just leaves you alone.

That’s nice, I guess they found other ways to fund their government.
