I actually like this idea. Lets take it a tiny bit further. To prevent the government from harassing you in to forced sales they don't intend to complete, make it a guaranteed minimum of the larger of 90% of the assessed value or 85% of the final sale price. Also the government, while the property is for sale, allows your continued use as previous and pays you 0.005% of the assessed value of the property //per month// for the privilege of listing it and allowing buyers to view it during normal business hours. At any time the government can cancel the deal and re-assess the value of the property, which shall be official retroactively for tax purposes (as far back as re-filing is allowed). At any time the current owners can cancel the deal, but then agree that the valued price is fair and valid as well as are required to hold the property for a full year after the cancellation.
