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.

Yeah, owners pay taxes to fund the government. But paying taxes does not mean you don’t own something, as if you were renting.

When you own a house, you can do whatever you want with it. If you choose to use it without utilities, you can for no extra cost. And payong taxes doesn’t really have anything to do with ownership.if anything taxes are proof of your ownership.
