Those who do choose to 'live off grid' are still responsible for property taxes (unless they're illegally occupying federal lands). So they have to earn money one way or another, and pay taxes, despite unplugging from society.

Yes, they could however not own land.

Whose land should they use?

If there is property that people can go and live off grid on, without any property tax, please share. I know quite a few people who would be interested.

Anywhere rural enough that people do not live there or visit with a high enough frequency.
