In Canada, if you buy an island in order to ``preserve it'' you
still have to pay taxes on it. But if you don't build on it the
taxes are lower. In some areas, a lot of the taxes one pays
(say for schooling, and to pay the fire department and whatever)
are hinged on you having a ``permanent residence'' where you live.

For this reason a few friends of mine bought an island in northern
B.C. and have not raised a permanent structure there...just lots
of temporary ones. I suspect they will run into trouble if/when
they get around to producing the family they intend to raise there,
or at least when the children reach school age. Last I heard they were
still adamant about not sending thier children to any school...
