“Ownership” of land is an illusion. You don’t own land, even if you have paid cash money for it and have the title. The government owns all land, and you rent it from them for whatever your property taxes amount to. Even so, the regulators can and will take it, with little or no compensation to you if it suits their purposes.
Land is only yours if you have the means - both legal and lethal - to defend it against any and all threats. When it comes to the government, your chances as an individual or family are slim to none. Look at Randy Weaver.
Sorry, but that’s the truth.

I think it depends on where you live. I used to say that all the time. Then again, my friend in Seattle pays more in property taxes per MONTH than I pay for a farm an new home PER YEAR.
I could sell Chiclets on the sidewalk off and on and collect enough to pay my property taxes. So far, anyway.
