Why shouldn't the government provide these services for the taxes people pay? If they spend a few hours checking everything is order on both sides for a few hundred I think that is reasonable. After that the court system again paid by taxes should resolve thing according to these.

I don't see any reason why a chain would help here too much, fixing the government should be much more effective in long run.

It is very common for government's to tax exchanges of money/property/goods. We see this in the sales tax, estate tax, transfer tax, cash app transfers, monetary gifts above $15k, income taxes, etc.
