Land Taxes

Land taxes are charges imposed by governments on property owners based on the value of their land. These taxes fund public services like schools, roads, and infrastructure. The amount owed often depends on the assessed value of the land itself, not the buildings or improvements on it. Land taxes encourage landowners to use or develop their property efficiently and can vary by location, land use, and value. Paying land taxes is a legal obligation of property ownership, contributing to local community development and maintenance.
