There is a saying, if you want to find out who owns your land, stop paying the mortgage. The same is true with property taxes. A few years ago I looked to see if there was anywhere in the US that you could buy property and truly own it in perpetuity. There were a few places in Nevada at the time but they may have changed the law by now to eliminate this.

- jonknee 10y agoProperty taxes are a good deal though. Even in rural areas you usually get a road that goes to or near your property. Police will come if you're in trouble. The fire department too. In cities the benefits are way more obvious.
