when you own land how far down in the ground do you own?

To the Earth core!

The grass, you need to purchase the Mineral rights unless the Mineral rights we're included when you purchased your house.

To the core...if you can dig down into the mantle and free the magma you can build your own mountain in your backyard.....it's great if you install a water slide into a pool.

Some arrogant pricks would think there were no end..they even imagine they own the rights of any flesh and souls. 'not directed at you'

Yes, why not... its my property!!

Why what are you planning to do?

look on your deed.


it's different everywhere.


usually its just the surface, but there are many exceptions.

I have wondered this same thing..I thought, 1/2 acre times two or three multiple levels.

What state are you in?
All depends on area of country as certain states the deed and title only convey to you the surface rights while others you get all land rights and own them to center of earth. Check with your local county gov office like an assessor office

Not one inch unless your state has alodial title.

Watch what happens if you don't pay the property taxes on it. It sucks I know. This must change...

If I were to dig down to the core, wouldn't I have to dig at an angle because the deeper I dig the smaller my property gets...

Core is smaller than surface area right??

As far down as your ground's antipode.

Ok sounds correct, thanks

Antipode...got it

Various states out West you need to check the type of deed and the title policy for what is conveyed to you.
It was allowed by state and Fed law to sever off almost every other right by separate deed such as mineral, water, oil & gas, grazing, fishing and hunting, gravel, and recreational rights. Out West in many states it is even illegal to catch any rainwater or ground runoff water. Can be very tricky so you should consult a RE Attorney prior to doing anything besides building a home on it

And also, the Earth is a globe, you'll need to adjust as you go down.

Fuck if I know, I'm not a geologist. You didn't answer my question.

Sorry to report, but nobody owns land except the government. If you don't pay "property taxes" your land gets taken. That's not ownership in my opinion.

Till the Chinaman on the otherside says you gone too far, son.

nobody owns any land, they just believe they do.

got it...watch out for pissed off Chinaman

What you can defend, no joke, you have to defend anything you own. They will take it if they can, taxes if left unpaid will leave you on the streets. As long as land tax on the house you have bought and paid for, you are in a fix if you can't pay them. You don't own anything if it can be taken because of taxes, or taxes unpaid.

There used to be no taxes on you land or house, you could leave and come back no problems. Now, you can lose your home of you lose a way to pay taxes. I do not like this tax law.

lol

Wouldn't the Chinaman say, you go...you go now. You been here for hour?

COME ON DOWN AS FAR AS YOU CAN STAND THE HEAT. Just do not stay to long, Gov will RENT that Land You think You Own, HA HA HA! Then I OWN YOUR ASS! Or youll wish I did.

TO CHINA, BOY!!

The chinaman will tell you, "you break, you buy!"

Nice thread guys. "Not sarcasm"

Assuming the earth is spherical.. Soyou dug down, the farther down you go the less area you own. Imagine an ice cream cone and the circle at the top is your yard.

So your catacomb multi later umbrella corp bug out shelter idea, as fool proof as it may be, is doomed to failure by draconian property regulations. Sux huh.

In America you own as far down as you can dig. In other countries it varies.

I remember reading an article years ago about oil in Malaysia and how the laws there are such that the landowner doesn't own what's beneath the surface.
