if you buy a home & just maintain it as it degrades over time you are forced to pay annual tax

if you improve it you are forced to revalue it & pay more annual tax

if you don't pay your annual tax then the government takes your home away

in what sense do you 'own' your home?

You can sell it and make it other people’s problem. If you don’t own then beside paying the landlord to pay the same things that you mentioned you also don’t have the right to sell.
