Woody,
The State of California Constitution identifies that property this way: “The State of California is an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.” This quote is found in Article 3 Section 1 of the State of California of  1879.
Article 4 of  the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 made the District, the Northwest Territory, forever “a part of  this Confederacy of  the United States of America, subject to the Articles of Confederation, and to such alterations therein as shall be constitutionally made.”
The State of California to the extent it is subject to the Constitution of the United States is the territory belonging to the United States of America.
This means the only property that is subject to property taxation is personal property that does not belong to the United States of America. To be taxable, property must be on territory owned by the United States of America.
A condition to admission of  a State into “this Union” is the promise not to tax what is owned by the United States of America. This is  just a ploy to suggest the power of State government to tax property.  There is no such power. The English monarchy had it, but when it left so did that power.
Government lawyers claim the power to tax is inherent in government, but we have proven the Constitution of the United States has not been adopted and the United States is just what is owned by the United States of America. Taxation is more easily limited to federal territory by putting attorneys where they belong on federal territory.

-Foremost I love the Lord, His written Word, and the Elect Family of God.
-My income is primarily derived from rental properties, legal counsel fees, selling PowerPoint presentations.
-I am a serious student of territorial specific law, and constitutional limitations of the US and STATE Governments.
-I have been in court over 250 times.
-I have received numerous death threats that appear as to come from NEBRASKA STATE agents.
-I have been arrested an estimated 8 times. Always bogus false warrants, misdemeanor charges. (Mostly Municipal Housing Codes, or related acts.)
-I file no Federal Income Taxes (1040 Form) since the year 2001. (No filings in any form.)
-I pay no State income taxes.
-I do not pay STATE sales tax on major purchases.
-I pay no COUNTY property taxes with out a judicial challenge. ( I believe I have discovered a filing for record process that takes my land off the tax roles. )
-I currently use no State drivers license, carry no vehicle liability insurance, do not register my automobiles.
-I do not register to vote for any representatives.
-I am a 'free inhabitant' pursuant to Article 4 of The Articles of Confederation. (Not a US citizen.)
-I am subject to the Church jurisdiction, and a strong advocate of full ecclesiastical independence from the United States jurisdiction.
-I believe in full support of the perpetual Union as found in the Articles of Confederation.
-I believe that a free inhabitant has the lawful standing to choose to live independent of the constitutional corporate US governments, and its statutory courts in the vast majority of his daily life, and to be forced to do otherwise is slavery.
-I believe that most all US written law is constitutional, but most all of that same law is misapplied upon jurisdictions where it has no force and effect of law and the bar association has perfected a system of keeping the people from knowing its true application. Order my 5$ presentation 'Free Inhabitant One A', for the truth in limited jurisdiction of all US written law.
Jon,
I am wondering how does the “Buck Act” affect the ownership of the state of California?
