    the present value of the property taxes is 75,000

    Explanation:

    We can determinate the present value of all the future payment using the perpetuity formula:

    150,000 x 2% = 3,000 property taxes per year as this will be paid indefinitely and the cash flow are equal; it is a perpetuity.

    3,000 / 0.04 = PV = 75,000
