One of the best reasons to not vote anyone ever gave me is that if you stop before you move your home address isn’t a matter of public record anymore.
If you own any land that's all public records (in my area at least). Kinda annoying that you can just go to a towns website and see all of the tax bills with addresses and a map of exactly where that land is.
Damn near everything you do involving the government becomes public records of some sort.
A pretty poor excuse not to vote though. Kinda sov-city like saying don't get a drivers license at 16 so that you never need to get a drivers.
Land can be held by a trust
Fair. Do you own land held in a trust? Curious of tax "benefits"
I don’t, but there’s lots of reasons people do it, there might be additional costs associated with it but everything I’ve heard of it that the person in charge of the trust just pays the property tax like if they were a normal person instead of the agent of a vehicle.
One benefit to a trust it that transfers take place entirely within the framework of the trust, so you can transfer use rights and “ownership” within the trust without incurring the transfer fees and taxes associated with splitting up a plot in the “meatspace” of titles and deeds.
