allodial title

Allodial title is a type of land ownership where the owner has full, absolute rights to the property, free from the control or ownership claims of a higher authority like a government or monarch. In this system, the land is owned outright, without obligations such as paying rent or taxes to a superior entity. Historically, allodial rights are rare today; most land ownership is held through different forms of tenure that involve some level of government oversight or taxation. Essentially, allodial title signifies complete sovereignty over a piece of land, akin to owning it in full freehold.
