PROPERTY TAX

Paying property tax is one of those things which most 
Americans have accepted as if it was a way of life. 
However, most people are unaware as to why they pay 
property tax in the first place. If you knew why you pay 
this tax, you could then choose whether or not to pay 
it, because like all taxes in this country, the property 
tax is not a mandatory tax. If you knew the truth, would 
you continue to pay?

Some of you will say that property tax goes to support 
education, and if you don't pay the property tax then 
you don't care anything about educating our children. 
This is the cry of all good socialists, the enemies of 
Americanism and the principles of limited government and 
natural rights.

Anyone who has researched the educational system even a 
little, knows that the United States Department of 
Education has based its system on the Soviet education 
system. This was proven by former Senior member of 
Ronald Reagan's Department of Education, a courageous 
woman who surreptitiously removed documents, then 
exposed the truth for all to know.

Let's get back to the argument made by socialists 
concerning how property tax money is used for education, 
and if you don't pay it then you are against education. 
My response is that money is the fuels for 
bureaucracies. When a system (like education) is failing 
to properly educate our children, but rather is making 
them into mindless, unthinking, docile, obedient 
servants of government, effective slaves for the work 
force, then by fueling the system you are simply 
guaranteeing that it will continue to do what it is 
doing. If the results of the current system are 
undesirable, then stop giving it fuel and it will cease 
to operate.

Now that we have dealt with the principal naysayers, 
let's talk about the property tax itself.

There are only two kinds of taxes - direct and indirect. 
Direct taxes are prohibited by the Constitution - not 
once but twice. Direct taxes are taxes on that which you 
already own, and there may be no direct taxes under any 
circumstances short of a state of war, and then only if 
the taxes are equally apportioned among the Union 
states.

Apportionment works like this: say the United States 
government want to raise 500 million dollars for the 
"war effort." Say, too, that California has ten (10%) 
percent of the population. California gets a bill for 50 
million dollars. Now let's say that California has 25 
million people at this time. Everybody pays two dollars. 
That's apportionment. It does not take into account how 
much or how little you earn, how much or how little you 
have, etc. It is completely fair and equable. An 
apportioned tax must be repealed within two years of its 
enactment.

The other type of tax is an indirect tax. Indirect taxes 
are taxes on a particular activity or taxes levied at 
the point of purchase. If you do not want to pay the 
tax, don't engage in the taxed activity or don't 
purchase the taxed item. Lawfully avoiding indirect 
taxes is easy.

America was established so that a Citizen need not ever 
pay any tax, unless he wished to do so.

So what is the property tax?

It is an indirect tax, levied because you have 
voluntarily used government services, and also because 
your property has been classified as a commercial piece 
of property.

There is no law requiring a real property owner to 
record his property with the County Recorder. Don't 
believe me. Go ask your Recorder or County Counsel. 
Therefore, when you do record your property, you are 
using government services which you are not required to 
use. Your property tax goes to pay for those services.

When you record your property, you enter into a 
Trustor/Trustee relationship, in which your real 
property has been transferred into a government trust, 
and you are given authorized permission to use their 
property (warranty deed).

Further, your property tax is based on a commercial 
classification which has been assigned to your real 
property. I guarantee you that your property has been 
classified as either agricultural, industrial, or 
residential. Each of these is commercial in nature (the 
legal definition of "resident" is a class of government 
official; residential is a house in which a government 
official lives).

There are three ways to lawfully opt out of property 
taxes: obtain allodial title, un-record your property, 
or have your real property re-classified as private.

Allodial title means supreme ownership. In the united 
States of America, all property is allodial in nature. 
This means that all property is subject to supreme 
ownership by the people. This also means that federal 
government activities which take private or public land 
to use for environmental or biosphere purposes, are 
illegally stolen from the people, who are their rightful 
owners.

If you can obtain allodial title to your real property, 
you will have effectively created an envelope in which 
you reign supreme (e.g. the King has allodial title to 
the castle and the kingdom). No zoning ordinances, 
easements, bureaucratic regulations, state or federal 
law have any effect on property held in allodium. 
Literally, you have created a kingdom in the midst of 
bureaucratic chaos, and you will never again receive any 
property tax assessments.

Needless to say, the government does not want you to 
obtain allodial title to your property, and they will 
actively work to prevent you from doing so.

There are three main steps toward acquiring allodial 
title. First, the property must be completely paid off. 
No mortgage, lien. or other attachment can exist.*

Second, you must go to the County Recorder and do a 
title search. Do it yourself; do not have an attorney 
(vested interest) or title company representative do it 
for you, because nobody has as much interest as you in 
the results. Do the search yourself. You must search 
back to the original land grants, ensuring that there 
are no hidden clouds on the title. Once you have 
completed a successful title search, file for a federal 
land patent on the land on which the property is located 
(if the property is in one of the original thirteen 
states, you will need to go to the state for a land 
patent - no federal land patents exist for these 
states).

Now comes the third part, this is also the hardest part. 
Every piece of recorded real property is used to 
collateralize government loans, so your real property 
has public debt attached to it. You need to find out the 
amount of the public debt (approximately seven times the 
annual property tax) and the holder of the debt, then 
pay it off.*

The government doesn't want you to accomplish this, so 
they will work against you. I suggest you burn the 
research candle at both ends, so to speak. Contact the 
County Recorder in the county where the property is 
located. Contact the Department of the Interior in 
Washington, D.C. Be prepared in both instances to meet 
with clerks who do not know what you are talking about. 
Ask for supervisors until you get someone who can help 
you.

The process of un-recording your property is easier, 
though not quite as solid. It is based on the fact that 
you are assessed a tax based upon using government 
services (County Recorder) to which you are not entitled 
or mandated. The process involves transferring ownership 
to another party, notifying the County Recorder that a 
transfer has been completed, then having the property - 
after a reasonable time period has passed - transferred 
back into your name. If done correctly, the property is 
not recorded anymore, and there will be no further tax 
assessments.

A man in Massachusetts had 160 acres and wanted to give 
two of them to his son. He called the Tax Assessor and 
asked him to reduce his assessment to 158 acres. The 
Assessor did so.

The son never recorded his two acres. twelve and a half 
years passed. The son now wanted to borrow money on his 
two acres. The bank said they would loan him the money, 
but only if he recorded the property first. He wanted 
the money, so he recorded the property. Two weeks later, 
he received a property tax statement - for the current 
year only! The past twelve years went un-assessed - no 
tax!

The final method of opting out of property tax is one 
which is little known and rarely used. It involves the 
classification of property, on which the assessed tax is 
based.

Property which is taxed is always identified by one of 
three commercial classifications: residential, 
industrial or agricultural. Private property cannot be 
taxed!

Contact your Tax Assessor and ask for a written 
explanation of the numbered codes appearing on your 
property tax statement. Once you have deciphered the 
statement, you will find your property classified by one 
of the above commercial designations.

Write a letter to your Tax Assessor, explaining that you 
have discovered an error in your tax statement. Do not 
mention the tax itself, as the error in question relates 
only to the classification. Explain that your property 
has mistakenly been classified as ____________ 
(agricultural, industrial, residential), and to please 
correct the classification to read "private." Ask the 
Assessor to notify you by mail once the matter has been 
handled. Be polite and sign the letter, using words like 
"Sincerely", "Best wishes", etc. There is no reason be 
belligerent at this point.

If the Assessor honors your wishes, you will never see a 
property tax statement again. If, as is more likely, the 
Assessor writes back, refusing to adjust his records, 
you may now open up discussion as to why not. Ask 
whether you have the right to own private property. He 
will say yes, of course. Ask why he refuses to classify 
it as private property. He will either explain to you 
that he cannot tax property unless it is classified 
pursuant to constitutional limitations (residential, 
industrial, agricultural), or he will reveal to you that 
you do not really own the property (in which case he has 
admitted to fraud, nullifying the transfer of property 
in the first place, since you were not aware of what you 
were doing at the time).

In either case, once the Assessor brings up taxation, 
you can now make the argument that your real property 
has been re-classified, without your permission, for the 
sole purpose of taxation. This is the firm basis for a 
lawsuit.

There is a Tax Assessor (not a clerk, the actual 
Assessor) in Tennessee who has admitted that he cannot 
tax private property. He can, if necessary, be 
subpoenaed to testify. There is a private Citizen in 
Tennessee, who has not received a penny in property tax 
assessments on his private land (160 acres or so) for 
over fifteen years! If you need it for a court case, he 
will sign an affidavit so stating. In other words, the 
precedent exists and therefore, if you pursue it, you 
cannot lose!

This method is rarely used so it has little track 
record. However, it is based upon sound law and I invite 
you to try it out on your real property. Let me know how 
it goes!

Here is a detailed step-by-step tutorial on how to 
obtain Allodial Title for your property.



1  Get 3 certified copies of the origional land patent
  and 1 certified copy of record of government survey 
  (if available) for the legal description of your 
  property. Request "best copy available" from national 
  archives. Expect to pay $30 for a copy and get it in 
  1-3 weeks.

2  Record 1 of these certified copies of the origional
  land patent with the county recorders office. The 
  recorder number will be the land patent number you 
  will refer to in your Declaration of Land Patent.

3  Determine the legal description of your property (from
  tax statement, deed, real estate contract, or tax 
  assessor's office) to which you are an assign. Get 
  property description narrative (get range #, township 
  #, section #, get quarter section in metes and bounds)

4  Research the assigns (i.e. heirs, owners), on the
  property back to the origional issue of patent. 
  Discover the chain of assigns pertinent to your 
  portion of the land patent and attach to your 
  Declaration of Land Patent.

5  Prepare a Declaration of Land Patent and update it in
  one name. It cannot be updated in two names**. Other 
  equitable arrangements can be made to further 
  sub-divide the ownership or allodial title of the 
  property, or it could be put into a trust. Declaration 
  of Land Patents must be updated in the name of a real 
  individual, not a legal fiction. No legal "persons" 
  are allowed to hold title to property, you cannot 
  allodialize property in the name of a trust, 
  corporation, or non-profit.

6  Record the Declaration of Land Patent in either your
  county recorder's office, register of deeds, or with 
  the bureau of records and conveyances of your common 
  law court. Notorize or witness all documents. Do not 
  send checks or federal reserve notes, use lawful 
  money, gold or silver; because conveying title with 
  negiotiable instruments voids the allodial title.

7  After filing, send a copy by certified mail return
  reciept requested as a Notice of Declaration of Land 
  Patent to your bank or mortgage company, or to any 
  parties with equitable interest in your property 
  including the county tax assessor.

8  An alternate method to notice the other parties would
  be to publish a Notice of Declaration of Land Patent 
  in a legal publication in your county (once a week for 
  3 weeks, or for the full 60 days.)

9  Post Notice of Declaration of Land Patent at the 4
  corners of your property and leave them posted for 60 
  days (witnessed)

10 They have 60 days to challenge your claim to the
  allodial title, or forever keep their silence. An 
  allodial title is the highest title to property.


*This step may be lawfully avoided due to the fact that 
there is no lawful currency. Without a lawful currency 
of Gold and Silver it is completely impossible to pay 
debts, a debt cannot be “paid“ with a Federal Reserve 
Note which doesn’t even meet the minimum requirements 
for a promissory note and isn‘t redeemable. Therefore 
since you have an absolute right to remedy and relief, 
the law must absolve any debts, it cannot require that 
which is impossible, especially when the problem is 
their fault. So if you wish to peruse this avenue, just 
start a prima-facie case by entering a simple affidavit 
stating that due to congressional mischief and the 
negligence of your state you are insolvent and unable to 
lawfully pay debts. If you want a detailed affidavit on 
this subject you can contact me and I will write one up 
for you, for free!

**A husband and wife are one and they may act as one, 
provided they were married under the anglo-saxon 
common-law. Those “married” with a marriage license are 
not recognized as one by common-law because they have 
entered into a contract with three parties, the husband, 
the wife, and the state; the state being the primary 
party in the contract. Contact me for more information.
