Absolute simple tax is a type of real estate ownership where the owner has complete control over the land, except for limitations such as covenants and zoning ordinances. It is common in countries that follow common law practices, and government rights may override the homeowner’s rights through eminent domain.
Absolute simple tax is a type of real estate ownership in which the owner owns all rights associated with the land. He can use the land, destroy it, give it to someone else through a will or deed, or take items, such as trees, rocks or produce, from the land. It is one of the few types of land ownership in which the owner of the land, with few exceptions, can do almost anything he wants with that land. In the event that the landowner were to die without a will, the simple absolute title to the rent would pass to the owner’s heirs as a simple absolute real estate right.
Generally, a person who owns simple freehold ownership has complete and total ownership of that piece of land. Usually she’s allowed to do with his land what he wants. There are exceptions to this rule, however. For example, landownership is still limited by covenants, zoning ordinances, laws, and regulations. So, if he were to own a simple fee freehold, he might not be able to use that piece of land to house a stable for horses if area covenants ban farm animals on the land. In another example, you may not be authorized to build a dam and block water from a river flowing through your estate.
Usually, fee-based simple freeholds are found in countries that follow common law practices, rather than civil law practices. Typically, the only type of property rights that are stronger than those granted through a simple absolute property tax are those reserved for governments, called allodial rights or titles. These titles are rare, especially in common law countries, and date back to feudal times. However, they do exist in some areas, such as Quebec, Canada.
Governmental rights that override those of the homeowner, even if the property is wholly owned by the landowner, may also include the government’s power of eminence. This power allows the government to buy an owner’s parcel of land for a fixed price, but it is typically done without the landowner’s consent. While this process is called a leading domain in the United States, it has other names in other countries. For example, it is called expropriation in Canada and South Africa. In the UK, Ireland and New Zealand this is referred to as a compulsory purchase.
