Depending on the state or province (United States or Canada) you could have property taxes on the value of your personal property (household property may qualify, but typically personal property taxes are on business equipment and machinery) or real estate (single family detached homes, townhouses, and condominiums. In all of these cases the assessed value represents the estimated value of the property on tax day. The assessed value is then multiplied by a tax rate that is set by the local governing body as part of their budget process to fund local services like education, police and fire protection, etc.

What reasoning supported tying the right to vote property ownership?
Before 1920, most taxes were assessed on property. When all taxes are based on property, it makes sense to restrict voting to property owners. When non-property owners are voting on property TAXES, the non-owner is has no reason not to vote for higher taxes that he won't be paying. Since the advent of the income tax, even people who don't own property are paying taxes, so the voter rolls needed to be expanded. Here in 2014, the disconnect between paying taxes and voting is becoming bad again.
