They'll never leave you alone

Plus if you buy property, and use it for agriculture, you pay pennies on the dollar in taxes. My acreage is only like $100 a year in taxes, total, while my house is closer to $3,000. If I sell and build my house on the property, I am going to dedicate 1/4 acres for my home and that would probably reduce property taxes down closer to $1,000.
