The biggest problem is they rarely pay what a property is actually worth. Here in Massachusetts an acquaintance just relayed a story where the town kept lowering his dad's tax assessment for 4 years. He didn't know why but they kept lowering his house value and he didn't complain as he was paying less property tax. Then they took his house via eminent domain with a deflated price based on the tax assessment. Now I don't know if that story was accurate, but wouldn't surprise me.
