WHO grants the land? The town? What makes the town have the authority to grant land? Town's don't create the land. Do towns have permission from the creator of the land to grant the land to the rest of us?
Also, if I were to buy a house lot or parcel of land, am I purchasing a grant? I thought "grants" were free of charge. Or am I simply purchasing the "rights" to use the land?
Please do not take these questions as an attack, Palani, I'm just trying to figure out the logic here.
I'm beginning to think that the only way to truly get out of paying property tax is to convince the town to abolish the property tax all together.
