Putting the property into a trust, corporation or other legal entity won't make it non-taxable. If anything, it will make taxes higher than they need to be because only a natural person or married couple can claim a homestead exemption, which lowers the property tax rates on your sole or primary residence.
Regardless, if the property taxes are not paid by the owner of record, eventually the local taxing authorities will foreclose on the property. Prior to foreclosure, they will typically start slapping liens for unpaid taxes on the property, which will make it impossible for you to sell, refinance, or get a second mortgage on the property unless you agree to pay off those liens at closing.
Taxes suck, but they're a fact of life.
