Seems fairly unambiguous to me.
What gives land its allodial character? The fact that it is free, a grant, a gift. If grandma gives to me her diamond ring and I accept, can I not go and pawn (pledge) that ring for some FRN's? Would the pawnbroker not charge a premium for doing so? Isn't this a contract voluntarily entered into? Is this not exactly like how a mortgage works?
Since the state is essentially the bank or visa versa, it shouldn't surprise you that there is a property tax clause within the mortgage. Any tax that is mandatory will certainly not require an application.

The way to test that is start trying to exploit natural resources without permission. See if the powers that be get upset.
