To his surprise, every time he found a piece of property he thought was abandoned, it was owned by the county sheriff.
As it turns out, the county sheriff was also the "agent to convey land". My friend argued that IF the sheriff truly owned the land, then he should be paying taxes on it, which he was not.
I believe the ruse is, the sheriff put his name to all these available properties, to discourage anyone from doing precisely what they are talking about at the "Stand upon the land" site. Just something to ponder.
Sincerely,

The questions I would have here are, If the Sherriff owns those pieces of land, and is not paying taxes on them, what authority in the statutes gives him that land? Dose the land belong to the flesh and blood person filling the office, or the corporate office of sherriff? Why has there been no foreclosure or seizure by the office of sherriff for unpaid taxes (conflict of interest) or perhaps, once the sherriff owns the land, did he have it reclassified as "private property" and thus not subject to taxation.
I realize that this is your friend that found this, and thus is not availablee to enquire further, so I just brought up these questions to keep the "ball rolling".
