property tax does not make sense, neither does corporate or income tax for that matter. state tax makes a bit more sense - id argue it should be zip code or residence tax. you pay for the firefighters, law enforcement, waste managers, and old/disabled people in your community. they live near you, your kids are friends with their kids, and they help make life safer and cleaner around you. and when i you don’t like how a zip code handles their business, you can gtfo and vote with your money.
