Pretty sure urban reserves normally sign a services agreement with the local government. This would cover services that are normally funded through property taxes. Single family housing on an urban reserve would purchase a "land lease" giving exclusive use to that lot in return for payment of the related service agreement.

Rather than look at the property tax and related services side the more interesting one to look at is if residents living on an urban reserve, regardless if they are status or not, is if they would be entitled to vote in the civic (city) election. Also how would children living there be classified in terms of school divisions which also receive funding from property taxes.
