Well before yo tax "idle" land, you must be "sure" that the land is "wasted", and that his owner for some planetary reasons does not want to invest on it. And, believe me, this is something which has been always very difficult to assess. Some times you get otherways perverse outcomes. The big question is : Does the land lord like to have idle land?
