(1) Personal Property Taxes also do this. Does you state not have these? (Jealous). Just saw more of your post, wasn't aware of lack of reassessment. Not sure that's the case for me. (2) I'm sure deductible mortgage interest is a thing because the government has determined it's better to own a home (to them) than to rent it. Much better than "owning" credit cards and getting a break on those once a year. Plus you've got phase-outs when doing taxes, etc. Of my student loans, only a small fraction of them get a deduction on interest, regardless of how many other ones I have.
