As several have noted, there is no "PERFECT rhyme" for "property". That's because for a perfect rhyme ALL the sounds most match exactly from the vowel of the accented syllable to the end of the word. (For this reason, the further from the end a word's accented syllable falls the fewer perfect rhymes you are likely to find for it.)

http://www.bartleby.com/61/83/P0188300.html

So in this case, a perfect rhyme would have to end with "-operty". There is no other English word that does.

---------------------

BUT, there are a number of "near rhymes" that can work. The best ones match ALL the vowel sounds ("complete assonance"), and most of the consonants.

The very best is "poverty". (also "anitpoverty")

Here are several others, roughly beginning with those that are closest... to the more distant ones in which ONLY the vowel sounds match. Note that the unaccented 'swallowed' sound of the e before r, does not need to be matched that closely -- other short vowel sounds will work.

fatherly, (im)properly

lottery, mockery, robbery, snobbery, pottery, somberly, crockery, scholarly, camaraderie

novelly, novelty, jollity, polity, frivolity, mediocrity
doggedly,oddity
hypocrisy, democracy, theocracy
(dis)honesty, (im)modesty
bodily, (dis)honestly, (im)modestly
controversy [using the British Received Pronounciation]

optically, myopically, topically, chronically, anatomically, astronomically...

Words ending with -ometry, beginning with better known ones:
geometry, optometry, trigonometry

+ at keast 50 others!

"Logically" and words ending with -logically -- theologically, teleologically, meterologically, pathologically + over 80 others.


If we're going mainly with assonance, words ending in -ing can also work, since they have the same vowel sound in the final syllable. Thus:

bothering, tottering, doddering, clobbering, slobbering, (scandal)mongering, pondering, jockeying, coddling, modeling, toppling, rocketing

offering, fostering


Finally, there are some words which have an /aw/ sound in the accented syllable rather than the /ah/ sound of "property". These two vowel sounds are close enough that the following might work as good near rhymes:

awkwardly, jauntily, augury, glossary, watery

Nothing rhymes with property really. Maybe the surname Docherty.

I can't think of anything that rhymes with 'property' exactly, but lottery could be twisted to fit, if you were desperate.

Robbery.... No perfect rhymes are known for property, like "Orange"

Poverty technically rhymes because the final two syllables both match, but it just doesn't sound right.
