So you would be heavily taxed on 28 of those acres, providing you actually owned them, whether you put them to work or not.Cannonpointer » 24 Nov 2022, 9:37 pm » wrote: ↑ Not at all. If you're way the **** out in the country surrounded by big tracts and few services, using a well and a septic tank, you're in no danger of being taxed off your land. It isn't "some bureaucrat" that sets the tax rate. It's the Invisible Hand of the Market - the Holy of Holies.
If you're one of these freeloaders who sits on empty lots in cities, passively waiting for the pressures of the market (the productive activities of OTHERS) to create unearned income by making your lot worth a million bucks, then, yeah - **** you and your sense of entitlement.
I live on 29 acres at present - nearest neighbor over half a mile away by road.
