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... Laura Creighton utzoo!laura
