I don't believe the LAND is being taxed. I don't think they can do that. Property tax is called an AD VALORUM tax or a tax on the value of the property. You could also say they are taxing the paper that proves you are the owner. If you don't pay the tax the sheriff will prove to you that you are not the owner by ejectment proceedings and proceed to issue another piece of paper to the buyer of the tax liabilities.

The process seems pretty clear and if I were going to test it I wouldn't try it with the most expensive property. Find a few acres of desert land 50 miles from a city. Even if they did eject you it could be several years before they make it back again to find that you didn't leave.
