That would be the energy.

Since when do trees cost taxes anyway ?

You need to own the land to grow the trees and can't use it for much
else. Around here the owners of commercially-zoned flat land often cut
the trees and put in rental storage sheds, which produce far more
income than firewood and can be easily removed when they sell. Maybe
the Scots make more money from sheep?

That's not a tax.



Not a problem where's there's lots of it.



Commercially zoned. Who said anything about forestry there ? God, you're
DIM.

The land is taxed, as are things on the land.  Around here the tax is
based not only on the size of the property but on its value.  A nice
wooded lot is worth more than a swamp or rock ledges.  You may end up
paying more for mineral resorces if the land has the makings for a
good gravel pit, even though you are not extracting gravel from it.
The land is assessed at a higher value if it is in a good location for
development, even if you have chosen not to develop it.  And you can
end up paying more taxes based on the view from the land.


Which is fine for those living in the country, but there are far more
people living in more densly populated areas.


We still have places where there are no zoning laws.  Even in those
that do have the laws it is often possible to get a varience, a spot
zone, or some other work around.

In the USA, yes.

There's no comparable property tax in the UK for example.
