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.

The tax collector states the land is worthless, undeveloped without roads. But the property generates huge tax bills? I don't understand. How can worthless land generate tax revenue? No development plus no property value equals no tax revenue.
Saying this is costing the county millions a year is disingenuous. It costs them nothing. The fact that this county won't sieze the land and are instead letting fees stack up is ridiculous. The postage on the bills is worth more than the 0.79% taxes they could collect on a 0.50 acre lot in the middle of the desert. If they were smart they would start seizing the land and be done with it. They are generating a net loss in revenue due to incompetence. Typical government.
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.
Someone should think about the real bad guys in this scheme, the county planning department who approved these subdivisions and all the county agencies that processed the maps --they were motivated by the large fees from the developers that the land owner paid them. The expected revenue from property taxes must have been too much to resist. Approving and recording these subdivisions without any conditions such as improving the land, building roads, water, septic,...etc was a crime against humanity motivated by greed.
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).
When property taxes are not paid over a period of time, usually the county government by law is able to seize the land. The county won’t do that because they would then forfeit any possible tax collection.
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
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.
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.
I inherited 2 acres there. It's a shit hole. But at least the property taxes are low. Can't access it in a car. I was half-expecting Walter White to be cooking meth on the land when I got there.
Since the market value of these lots is close to zero why shouldn’t there be a proportional downward adjustment in property taxes? The county is just wasting money mailing out property tax bills. Incompetence piled on incompetence. If it weren’t for oli and gas, national labs, and military bases New Mexico would cease to function.
if it is such worthless land how could there be so much collectable taxes due. first put roads, etc the ask for taxes. now it looks like the state wants to further rip off these foolish investors! shame on the state!!!!!!!
Aren’t properly taxes supposed to be used to pay for things like school, utilities, roads? If these people were paying their property taxes was exactly would they be getting in return? Other than a recipe? It seems like to me that the real scammers are the one trying to collect property taxes, while offering nothing in return!
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
My grandfather who lived in California bought property in this area back then. He had told my sister and I he was going to leave the land to us. I found out about this scam years ago after grandpa passed.
Ridiculous that government officials consider the property taxes not collected a negative, any taxes they collect are a bonus as they are receiving money and are providing no services whatsoever.
If they want tax revenue, open it up for off-grid eco friendly homes (aka earthships) there are solutions to this problem but no one in government is a fixer, just a waster.
The county states that the land is worthless out of one side of their face, and then whines about all the back taxes out of the other. If the land was worthless, why is the county charging people so much in taxes? Who is investigating the county for these crimes?
We had a huge land fraud problem in Arizona during much of the 1970s until it got shut down. The perpetrators either got prison but some ended up dead as it became a big criminal organization.
Yep, these people were scammed big time. The fact that a lot of tax property is owed on these useless properties makes me wonder why the property tax is not written off. Most of these owners can not be reached or have died and it makes no sense at all to send out monthly property tax bills. Many years ago a very sharp and old Government Accountant and Auditor told me, that outstanding old debt that can not be recovered must be written off. Apparently it raises to many questions and the bad debt also has a negative impact on financial records.
Wow those postal trays remind me of when I worked at a Catholic Church, they was always sending out bulk mail so I would have to go gather up trays and then take them back to the post office to be sent out.. Miss that job paid good and great benefits!!!
As a sub-issue, foreigners should not be allowed to buy American land. It adds to the overhead costs of trying to communicate with them and follow up, even for legal procedures and foreclosure. Besides, it is not reciprocal. An American expat in their country is forbidden from buying a home or land -- all across Asia. No country allows that. Over a million communist Chinese have a U.S. green card and have bought up millions of properties, especially in California. An American is forbidden from buying a home in China, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Philippines. Congress must stop this one-way exploitation. In California, the Chinese corruption money (i.e., money laundering from bribery in China) has driven up home prices and priced working-class Americans out of affordable housing.
Probable reason the county won't just take ownership of the land for delinquent taxes is that they can't then sell it for even half of what is "owed". Anyone who wanted to acquire any blocks of this land for whatever purpose would be on the hook for unpaid taxes.
So, if the state, and everyone else, says the land is worthless, and property taxes are based upon appraised value, how can any taxes be owed? Looks like a good place for a wind and solar farm.
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 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.
Same in Torrance County, old Triple S land, Valley of Estancia Ranchettes. Flat, treeless, no utilities, rudimentary roads, no water, suitable only for grazing and off grid living if one is stalwart.
What incredibly stupid reporting!!! So much more to the story. They could only sell lots if the country approved the subdivision. Ok, back then they would approve without bonds or proof of financial viability. Fine. Then why charge taxes? They're not providing any services. No one in the city, nor the taxpayers are getting shafted here. Why not condemn the area, section by section and put in road and utilities for one small section? And then progress to the next. Of course, they'd probably want to redraw then entire subdivision to more modern standards. Also, I don't have any tears to waste on those who would buy land based on a photo advertisement.
Only a fool would buy something sight unseen! Are there people who have more money than brains? Those developers certainly have sorted them out of the general public!
The land has no value and the county is not providing roads, emergency services, or schools to unpopulated area so how are they needing the $11 million they haven’t received in property taxes ?
What's the real reason why they cant build there? Even a temporary place, camp ground, off grid cabin. They can generate power with solar the can haul water in or dig a well and Install septic systems.
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.
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.
Is there a reason why the counties involved can't just claim the properties for back taxes. Then they could look at amalgamating lots that are together and see if someone wants it as ranch land.
I bought a lot in Deming, but there's a road and an electric pole on the corner of my property. I haven't moved there and built anything yet. It's also kinda developed since I'd have several neighbors. There's farms and a farmers market close. My closest neighbor is probably 4 lots away. Looks like a little ranch house on Google maps and pretty well kept. It's my little retirement fantasy. It's zoned for a single wide trailer. I may get a nice park model and make it easy. Sounds like I need water collection and storage and a septic. Which sounds like it should be easy 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.
I was living in Albuquerque for a time when that all took place initially. I remember it and thought at the time, who would fall for something like this? I guess with the false pics and all that, anybody could. Similar thing happened in So Cal with the land around the Salton Sea, but at least that really was a resort area once...now you can buy land there for pennies.
@@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.
This is about property taxes. Property taxes equate to the Government owns the land. Look up land patent... you actually own the land and pay no taxes. Who would think that the mainstream news media would create a story that was in favor of a slave tax. Property taxes are a way to kick poor people off their land when the can not pay. I think this all worked out well. The State should server the people, not steal from them.
The problem is older than the guy that collects the taxes. And he says it's not going to be fixed in his lifetime😕 shows how much the government tries😇 are tax dollars hard at work.
GPS the closest road to our lots was over 5 miles away. The terrain was very soft sand and lots of arroyos. We gave up even our polaris couldn't get through it to our property.
The same thing as Rio Rancho. Worthless but now third largest city in NM, pop.110,000. But Rio Rancho is next to Albuquerque There is no reason to live in Rio del Oro, no jobs, small lots, no utilities. Off grid would be ideal with solar and a well.
It’s a shame that they’re trying to charge tax on such a piece of shit just because someone owns something doesn’t mean that taxes need to be paid on it was owned by the state there’s not millions of people paying taxes taxes should be illegal
if u had any of the land out there i know what i would do . (1) build a water tower (2) dig a and lay pipes (3) build or place water evaporators and place time in toobs (4)solar panels and solar banks to charge and power water pumps .. all of the to suck water out of the cool night air and store it for latter . charge it ion the day run it at night . could also have it as a Water Reclamation device.. could also sell of silicon and Trace minerals . well that is some ideas i have .. would be cheaper my way than try and get money from dead people ?
Hold your horses so the official public service representatives are saying the land is worthless and yet they're owed millions in taxes well that doesn't make any sense at all does it?
So this is really just about NM not getting their tax money, it's not really about the people that got taken. The title should say the greed of NM wanting their tax money 💰
If the land has no value, there's no basis for taxation since taxation is based on value.
not only that, but without the scam there would be nothing to tax. Technically, that county is profiting from criminal activity.

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.
Whenever a government official uses the word unique...…… get ready for a load of BS
This is about property taxes. Property taxes equate to the Government owns the land. Look up land patent... you actually own the land and pay no taxes. Who would think that the mainstream news media would create a story that was in favor of a slave tax. Property taxes are a way to kick poor people off their land when the can not pay. I think this all worked out well. The State should server the people, not steal from them.
The problem is older than the guy that collects the taxes. And he says it's not going to be fixed in his lifetime😕 shows how much the government tries😇 are tax dollars hard at work.
I almost bought a lot from these people. But it didn't sound right
If the streets don't match the map, how do you find your property?
i found my quarter acre using coordinates
GPS the closest road to our lots was over 5 miles away. The terrain was very soft sand and lots of arroyos. We gave up even our polaris couldn't get through it to our property.
The same thing as Rio Rancho. Worthless but now third largest city in NM, pop.110,000. But Rio Rancho is next to Albuquerque There is no reason to live in Rio del Oro, no jobs, small lots, no utilities. Off grid would be ideal with solar and a well.
Deception on top of more Deception...
And, it continues!
It’s a shame that they’re trying to charge tax on such a piece of shit just because someone owns something doesn’t mean that taxes need to be paid on it was owned by the state there’s not millions of people paying taxes taxes should be illegal
I bought a parcel 2 years ago from here. My parcel has power at the lot line and a paved road out front. I am planning to retire on it.
if u had any of the land out there i know what i would do . (1) build a water tower (2) dig a and lay pipes (3) build or place water evaporators and place time in toobs (4)solar panels and solar banks to charge and power water pumps .. all of the to suck water out of the cool night air and store it for latter . charge it ion the day run it at night . could also have it as a Water Reclamation device.. could also sell of silicon and Trace minerals . well that is some ideas i have .. would be cheaper my way than try and get money from dead people ?
I wish I had their contact list, I have a great deal on ocean front property in Arkansas. I will even throw in the Brooklyn bridge for free!
I don’t live there. What is the problem? To far off the grid?
The human animal is infected with the sickness of greed.
New Mexico politicians be scamming 🤣🤣
Hold your horses so the official public service representatives are saying the land is worthless and yet they're owed millions in taxes well that doesn't make any sense at all does it?
So this is really just about NM not getting their tax money, it's not really about the people that got taken. The title should say the greed of NM wanting their tax money 💰
Rattlesnake Acers,,, SNAKE IS GOOD FOOD
The fact that the government is try to collect taxes on land fraud deals shows just how corrupt they are.
What the heck are they taxing! There is nothing there to tax. Government sucks!
I can step out of my house and view Shiprock rock..... lol
They did this in California twice and Florida.
no one owes the government anything. the state can take the parcel and DONE.
Every con artist depends on the ignorance of their mark in order to succeed!
This is not news, happening forever!
Why don't you NAME all the principals of the scam company? Let their family names be disgraced publicly, forever.
Perfect place for an earthship community.
Larry Barker is John Stossel on steroids.
7:42 land HO is paying the back taxes before sellling, yes? since parcels cannot be land locked, who maintains the non-existant roads?
Politicians have turned New Mexico into a ghost town.
Wow
Does anybody out there have two tens for a five LOL
Also if corps run electric and water lines where they can put off grid living they charge 550/600,,$a year to live there
They need to give all these people there money back. Thief's.
