private lands

Private lands are properties owned by individuals, companies, or organizations rather than the government. The owner has the legal right to use, develop, or restrict access to the land, within the limits of the law. These lands can be used for various purposes such as residences, agriculture, businesses, or conservation. Private ownership provides the owner control and responsibility over the land, including paying property taxes and following zoning regulations. Unlike public lands managed by government agencies for public use, private lands are privately held and access may be limited unless permission is granted.
