@mlinksva I think the main property taxes on real estate in Finland are the transfer tax (recently reduced) https://www.vero.fi/en/individuals/property/transfer-tax/ and inheritance taxes (recently changed to be spread out over very long periods). There's also a property tax but it's municipal, usually negligible. https://www.vero.fi/en/individuals/property/real-estate-tax/

In Helsinki, where land is very expensive, the real property tax is that you pay rent to the city for the land under your building. ~400 M€ in rentals vs. 300 in tax. https://www.hel.fi/en/news/city-of-helsinki-financial-statements-2022-better-than-budgeted-due-to-increased-tax-revenue
