Property tax is usually the preserve of the county. There is sometimes a penalty for being non-resident. Search using the county where the property will be located.
At the federal level, search for FIRPTA withholding (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act), and the IRS treatment of non-resident aliens for capital gains and death purposes.
