That seems like the fairest way to do it, make it part of your property taxes. Before, your property taxes are $T. Now, your property taxes are $T + $T x F x M, where M is the number of months in the year the property is unoccupied, and F is some factor. For everyone whose home is actually lived in, your property taxes don't change. A supercharged version of the homestead exemption.
