Never heard about the payment for streets in front of your house for example?

That seems to be a form of property tax and very different from insulating your house.

That "property tax" can - in some cases - cost you 100k Euro or more.

In return you get a road to your house I suppose. That seems pretty useful. You can also do your research when purchasing a home and check how old the road is and what the local regulations are. That roads need to be redone every twenty five to forty years shouldn't come as a surprise.
