So, I did a little research, and I found a lot of warnings about having your property auctioned out from under you and increasing fines and interest, but nothing about what I would consider serious consequences. Since I would want them to seize and auction off the land, that's not a problem. And I assume that process would negate the money that was owed, although I'm not positive about that. Since my property is so completely worthless, I'm seriously considering this option. But I don't want to do it if I'd become a criminal or my credit rating would get smashed. So if anyone has ever gone through this or has any knowledge, I'd really appreciate the information.
If you look at satellite view, people are living there. It even has its own airport.
Do you have an address or lot#
I have always wondered if someone leaves you several items in his/her will, can you refuse some of the items and only accept what you want?
Unfortunately, there isn't anything near the lot. No a single house for miles, and the the nearest towns are an hour away.
Is that just north of Boron?

Oh how funny, I was curious and looked a few days ago, and picked this property as representative of your unwanted land.
It is a pretty desolate area.
+1 on donation to a charity. Try local churches, food banks, Salvation Army, Red Cross, etc.I thought of that, but I’d just be moving the monkey to my back.
This is interesting. Any ideas on where to begin?
another good idea.Yes, inherited a couple of acres that used to be part of a family farm. Whole thing is woods now. Years ago the town ruled the area it is in cannot ever be built on so it's not even saleable except as a woodlot, or for camping, said the appraiser. And yet the town wanted $500 a year property tax.
First I got the property tax lowered to $40 by filing an appeal. Then I looked up all of the abutters and asked them if they wanted to buy it. One of them had an existing house before the no-building rule and my land was behind his back yard. Sold it to him for a whopping $500, which was better than nothing.
I tried giving it to the various conservation places before finding the abutter and even the conservation places didn't want it.
Maybe one of your abutters could be interested.
