Is it not that the gains are unrealized? If they sold the house they would pay capital gains tax?

They aren't going to sell it, they'll pass it to their children and the cost basis will reset. Their children will then sell it and pay zero tax.

Property taxes are unrelated to income tax

I'm not a finance person but I think capital gains kicks in if you sell early. Otherwise, just regular taxes?
