This is similar to the property tax structure in California.

You get a property tax rate on the purchase price, then it only goes up 2% a year or inflation (whichever is lower).

It makes it pretty impossible to be taxed out of your house. It has downsides though because it applies to commercial real estate and landlord properties as well.
