The counter argument is that property taxes fund the multiple services which central and local government provide that enhance the value and productivity of a property.
Without roads, law and order and security and a wider context of enforceable contracts and infrastructure provided by government the land one owns if of lower value.
Improvements to the physical infrastructure and security surrounding a property increase its potential productivity and market value.
Taxes that are directly related to funding increased potential productivity are argued to be ideal as they can create a virtuous circle of wealth creation.
