Then the government owns it after that.
What? Do you understand how homeownership works?
They aren’t wrong tho. If you stop paying your taxes they will take your house away. So in the end you may “own” it but you really don’t have full control, which raises the question on who really owns the land.
In the end the government has the control. Do you really own it?
That and expropriation/eminent domain, etc. Even if you pay your taxes, if the government needs it, they have processes to take it.
