That's why they are trying so hard to take people's homes. The whole goddamn system is backed up with your assets, not theirs, and they are trying to liquidate your shit to cover their exorbitant spending. Zero debt, own your own land even if it means living on it in a camper you got for a couple thousand dollars, with a septic system and a well and solar power. If you don't have rent or a mortgage, then you don't really have to worry too much about their financial economy House of Cards collapsing on itself
Pretty much any area where the population growth is really slow. The township I'm at had a population of about 900 some odd people back in 1992 and now they have about 1200, and the entire county has like 12,000 people total. The trade-off is that if you want to go to Costco, you have to be willing to drive for an hour and a half or more, and you are going to have to make some of the things that you are used to having when you live in a city or a metropolitan area, like electricity or water for sewer, and you're going to have to haul your own trash. Low population rural counties cost way less to live in, even with the extensive amount of driving you're going to have to do and the gas. We bought this land we are on for about $12,000, and it was owner financed and we were able to win the bid for it for $600. Would you rather pay $2,500 bucks a month or $3,000 for a mortgage on a house that you will never truly own, or would you rather just live in a camper with septic and well water and solar and starlink for internet? When the land is cheap, building your own home becomes a lot more accessible especially if you're using greener building methods like earthbag or cob or hay bale.
LMAO! Funny you mention property tax. Paid mine in January for 2023 taxes.
Got the check cut at the bank, added the accompanying documents, certified my mail, and dropped it in a mailbox at the post office.
Yesterday, I received a letter that my taxes had not been paid. Went to the bank and discovered someone had snagged the letter with the check in it and ‘washed’ the payee off the check. They then added their name and cashed the check.
Will get the money back from the bank but have >$2k in late fees with the tax assessor.

Property tax varies depending on where you're at. I've got five acres and I only have to pay about $45 a year on it.
Obviously not asking where you live.
But where would be good places to look for cheap land with low property tax?

My good friends heart is in alaska!
Bullshit. I have 25 acres and I pay $15k on it per year.
Look up counties and land for sale in eastern Oregon and eat your words
Ag exemptions, learn their rules, use it to your advantage.

That outcome sure wasn’t on my bingo card.
People are such shitbags, that sucks!
Your county doesn't have the option to pay online via the tax assessor website, and get an instant payment confirmation to print out?
They do and I’ll be paying that way going forward.
