Reasonable? No, no, and more no.
No, property taxes are not "more than reasonable". Some are less onerous than others, but they are never reasonable, since reason in the way you use it implies logic and the property tax scheme is highly illogical since it relies on a huge contradiction.
The term, itself, "property tax", is an oxymoron and misnomer and represents an unreasonable word perversion.
The defining characteristic of actual owned property is the owner is the person with the highest claim of control over the thing owned. The term
"property tax" attempts to redefine the meanings of words, based on who the actor is, which is ummm, is "not reasonable". Very much like how collateral damage is used when murder would be the correct term.
It is not reasonable for somebody else (singular or plural) to dictate when, how much and why you must them pay them and your alleged property is collateral and if you resist you could be killed.
It could be reasonable if you had made agreements with another party, absent any duress of course and you willingly pledged "your property" as collateral instead of a situation where your alleged property is collateral even if you never agreed to it.
The term property tax is wrong (it is) another word should be used. Rent might be the right word. People do not own what they call their property, they rent it.
The fact that most people use the term "property tax" incorrectly doesn't shift the fact it is an oxymoron. It only provides evidence that there are two standards applied, one for you, and one for your landlords /overlords.
