Only fair way to tax is sales tax. If I want to pay taxes, I buy things. If I don't want to pay taxes, I buy less things. Recurring taxes on things we own is theft.
Go Ron! Kill property taxes.

Details matter and land is not stolen. Makes for a good sound bite but isn't the way things work.
Sales tax? Okay, so you are suggesting the 1% county sales tax be increased to 6% for an overall 13%.
Don't like "recurring taxes on things we own"? Fine, no problem, just establish a $5,000 annual assessment per household with an option to collect that from Fed tax returns, SS payments, or wage garnishment. Don't want to pay the Sumter County assessment? Fine, move to a county with a lower assessment.
One way or another services need to be paid for. It's wicked easy to say "no new taxes," "taxes are theft," or "tax sales are theft." It's far, far more difficult to find the funds to pay for the services that citizens demand.
