You're treating ownership as if it's some natural right. It's not. The idea of property and ownership is a social construct, so it makes sense that society gets to determine the rules of this construct.
And society has generally determined that your "ownership" comes with a fee to cover the societal costs that make it all possible. E.g., car and house property taxes to cover police depts, fire depts, etc. Without which see how long your precious possessions last.
