not only that, but without the scam there would be nothing to tax. Technically, that county is profiting from criminal activity.

Excellent point David

Now I understand why God people are praying to God for help you are fighting demons

I just watched a video about a couple whose parents bought one of those lots way back when and maintained ownership. The couple inherited it, found out it was a scam, but decided to go and see it for themselves. It is indeed just barren scrub land, and the two-acre lot in the middle of nowhere is currently worth $167 and the yearly. taxes are $5.

@@jesusliveselima3846 Certainly. The American people allowed the rats to have an inch out of the sewers, even though they were severely warned that the rats will stench up a whole mile. So we now have an epidemic of rats in our news/media, government, justice systems, and our schools. Americans do a great job at talking/complaining about the rising corruption while they primarily focus more for whats on netflix or sports channel that day!

You definitely hit the nail pretty darn good on the head

Typical media reporting falsely, too

I am sure some people pay and for the rest I think they go after estates or anyone with good credit where possible.

I was coming here to say the same thing, they should have seized the properties 40 years ago for unpaid taxes...but they don't want to own the land either.

There's a legal process, but yes they should seize the land.

That is what I was thinking. If the AG closed them out for fraud than collecting taxes on that same fraud is fraud

yes and no, their job is not to picks winners and losers, that being said, in Arizona subdivision development is highly regulated with developers being required to identify a 100 years worth of water supply, and identify all utility lines from the lot lines, so a buyer can quickly determine the utilities and water supply situation. These folks should have determined that these lots were way beyond the standard commute times to Albuquerque (the closest employment base).

Greed seems to be the downfall of our economy

@@kevinlockwood3388 Greed lubricates the system and gets things done...

They don't call it New Mexico for no reason! It's just like Old Mexico down to the over abundance of Mexicans and the accompanying corruption.

Here in Az, the properties like that, (we have many 1000's) revert to State ownership.

the crooks are complaining that they can t still anymore money just like the other crooks

why should any property taxes be due if no improvements have been done. put roads, sewage, sidewalks etc the charge taxes. state is as greedy / dishonest as the developers

How much was the taxes?

@@majesticgee7610 It's like $15-$20/acre per yr.

@@MJCLAXDEN thank you

Good question. Delinquent sales tax. When you take the title and or mortgage you agree to the tax no matter what the property is actually worth. I've seen these ads over the years. I considered buying a lot myself.

Taxes, interest and penalties.

The answer is here (no common sense), All of the state's seven executive offices are held by Democrats. Democrats also hold supermajorities in both houses of the New Mexico State Legislature.

The entire US is this way !

Um because they pocketed most of the money? Duh

because is not their money its like monopolies money

That's a big part of the problem! Government needs to stay out of schools! They hire and produce only liberals! Recipe for failure and eventual loss of country

That makes sense but you know corrupt government don't want to be sensible

Annual tax on sage brush, less than .01

Dude you're playin yourself and nobody is buyin your bullshit. It's absolute fuckin junk land

No, not really. Fraud is the standard of practice in New Mexico. Gotta promote them.

And assume the tax debt????

Lol I guess I didn't write it clear I was being sarcastic since they said they couldn't sell it for any price

And destroy more wildlife and pollute more land? Both with ugly windmills and solar farms that cannot even make a return, but with the massive concrete and un recycleable waste they produce?

@@tboniusmaximus3047 Yes.

@@tboniusmaximus3047 They ARE making huge returns, btw. At least the ones that are properly managed and maintained. There ARE companies that go into this for the initial subsidies and neglect them. But wind and solar have to go where the wind and sun are. Nothing is free. Cost benefit analyses need to be done for every project. Not just financial, but environmental impact as well. We WILL need to produce power. Would you rather it be from coal? On our current global trajectory, there will be no wildlife to protect, or humans for that matter, if we don't transition to cleaner energy. It will take many decades but I would like to see our species survive for a few hundred years after I'm gone, at least. Properly designed, those concrete foundations can be reused on newer, better generators for hundreds, if not thousands of years in a dry climate like this. The question is, is it already to late to ensure a dry climate anywhere? But hey, if science comes up with ways to make fossil fuels work cleanly, I'm all for it.

The thing is coal and oil are efficient and clean these days and we need that fly ash, even better go with nuclear power plants.

why, they havent earned anything, no roads, schools, sidewalks , etc etc.

Inevitably . . . government should then become a partner, in this skeem !

My mother in law bought two lots in this development in the 70s. We inherited these lots in 2012. We did try to find where these lots were located but the closest actual dirt road was more than 5 miles from the lots. In order to locate them we had to get GPS location then take the polaris to the lots. Several arroyos later we finally decided it wasn't worth the trip to even see where the lots were located as a normal vehicle would never make it out that far. For us there was no reason to hold on to these lots. The county had no plans to develop the area or at least none they shared with us. We quick claimed the deed to a young man who was speculating that maybe in his life they might have some value. We doubted in our lifetime, say another 30 or so years if we are lucky, anything would happen with development.

There is people who have done just that out there.

The wells in lots of the southwest start at around $50,000 and up right now. The communist Chinese were allowed to buy up a huge farm and own all the water rights in SE Arizona, digging their million-dollar wells far deeper than all surrounding towns, which has caused the much shallower wells of thousands of American families to dry up.

Civil forfeiture is a very very slippery steep slope. Giving any government power to take a person's land regardless of reason is dangerous.

@@Odin31b Tax delinquent sales are common. In California, five years of nonpayment usually results in a delinquent tax sale of the property.

Yeah; I thought of California City while I was watching this. Why the county wastes time and money to tax the properties is unbelievable.

Nothing, they already Don't have the money.

I bought a lot in Deming today too.

I have been paying taxes for a few years on some land there , the taxes remain very low , & when u build , barely go up much, if Its a modest (small) build.

Fooling yourself. None of that is going to be easy. Especially not in Deming.

It wasn't back when that took place,,,, they just changed names of the company's it's still happening today!!!!

@@markh9981 Sorry, but I was there when that happened, friend.

@@themoviemaniac8416 sorry but I was a victim that was held hostage there, for 8 months and my sister and kids, they are dead now including my son and brother. I barely made it out alive. So don't try to even begin to explain it to me. And if you were there perhaps you were part of the scam, it wasn't just a Land scam, it was a full blown human organs trafficking operation being run illegally affiliation with the Dark web sites and the number 8 satanic cult, cowards responsible for the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of girls and people.
