The elimination of property taxes could happen but probably unlikely simply because of inertia; the easiest thing to do is nothing. One estimate suggested that a doubling of the sales tax to 12% would make up the revenue. One possible issue is that sales tax revenue may not be as stable as property tax revenue.
