Try it Virginia style,
1. The county gets your registration info and send twice yearly tax bills for the priviledge of having YOUR property in THEIR county.
2. And then once yearly , in a different month, require you to purchase a county windshield sticker.
So basically you pay the tax for the privilege of buying the sticker.
Which makes it very much fun for the deputies to set up roadblocks in the month of April to look at windshields to see who hasn't paid their tax and BS fee.
Our county Treasurer admits that the sheriffs dept is nothing but a revenue stream for her office, that's why on 1 April they double the cost of the sticker and any unpaid tax.
Yeah, I know all states get their money somewhere but my home county has gotten ridiculous, I have passed 22 LEO's in a single 28 mile stretch of US 58 all running their radar in the spots where the speed limits go up and down from 45 to 55 to 60 to 55 to 60 to 35.

AFAIK property tax bills are billed annually not semi-annually, but that is a county by county thing just like the property stickers you mentioned which Fairfax County did away with several (4 or 5) year ago.
Also, for trailers the assessed valve for property taxes which are based on current assessed valve will never go below 20 percent of the original purchase cost regardless of age. My 2007 TT purchased in 2007 hit that bottom back in 2012 and has had the same property tax assessed value every year since then and it will never change.
