To emphasise this point, when an employer pays an employee wages, they pay it with a dollar that someone else earned (and paid tax on) and paid to them (and likely paid sales tax on). Money isn’t taxed, and neither are people; transactions are. An estate transfer is a transaction.
Aside from the services provided by your municipality (which may or may not be paid for out of property taxes) there's the aspect of imputed rent; the notional benefit that you as a tenant receive from yourself as a landlord. Some places tax that explicitly, as it happens.
