Around here you have to pay the property taxes for several years in a row, if the actual owners realize after a few years and start again, you're just out the money. Which... seems like a good way to only pay your property taxes once every few years, if you don't mind your property going to hell (lots of folks around here do not, based on the number of burnt out houses).

Civil forfeiture could actually be improved in some cases, like if you just give up and move along and your house is a nuisance attracting crime and squatters, your neighbors should be able to fix that by petitioning for ownership, instead of having to wait until the house is worthless and likely burned down for anything to be possible.
