The argument has been taken to the point; that since the seller has received something of more value, silver, from the buyer than what is provided by the state, as a vehicle of conveyance, that the land is now no longer taxable because of the silver bill of sale between two individuals with the state excluded. Note: Since the act of registration is in essence handing over that asset being registered, a copy of the bill of sale was handed over to the County Register of Deeds as proof of sale. Will this preclude the buyer of paying property taxes and will the "authorities" be able to refuse vital services (fire, police protection...) Opinions?

It would seem that justice would be not to have to pay any property taxes on the land. But then again, as far as protection goes, the supremes have already decided that the police do not have a duty to protect any individual.
So, Although I am fairly sure that this is not what you posted your request for, it is my opinion, and worth about what you paid for it.
