A property tax enables the remainder of the population to enact negative rights on property-holders. The important distinction between negative and positive rights means that we are entitled to repel others when they are not invited but never entitled to coerce. Excessive property ownership affects the remainder of the population. To repel this unwanted arrangement the population may use their natural negative rights to reduce the property held by the offending party.
Property taxes do not violate the Non-Aggression Principle, since they are in response to exclusion.
Property taxes are an expression of a negative right.
