If it can be taken by not paying then i dont truly own it. Can i do alot by living in an unincorporated area yes but the county can still sell it out from under me if i dont pay to keep it.

Say more about living in unincorporated areas? I've been casually land shopping for a while.
You have less permitting requirements if you were to go the legal route. County inspectors and officials are usually not as uptight. And an added plus if your land is zoned ag (AHJ dependent) what you can build opens up. A barn or outbuilding needs far less. I had a shed and inspector told me put an outlet in it. Once I sign off what you do isn't my business because I already signed off on power.
