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.

Palani, there is a fundamental error in your post: that is, that objects subject to
ownership (Man is not an object) are not subject to taxing.
Someone, a person (common usage), must have a liability to owe then pay a tax;
The Proof is that un-owned land is never taxed, it sits "fallow" to use a farming term.
Nor do taxes accrue upon the un-assigned land.
This also applies to corporations.
as a class of objects, real-estate is subject to taxation.
Btw, by "taxation" I mean every actual tax, fee, duty, impost, consumption tax
levied by government in exchange for something, including lotteries.
real-estate does not refer to the land; it refers to the appurtenances there upon.
the building put upon the land. it also refers to the "paper-work" made to make
the land into a commerically interesting thing to own.
thanks for the post.
(btw, the [] in the first paragraph are mine)
