Housing foreclosures result from failing to pay property taxes or other fees.[1][2]
- Non-payment of taxes will put the housing into a default status. The player will have a period of time to settle the debt before the housing is foreclosed.[1]
- The developers are considering allowing pre-payment of housing taxes and/or allowing auto deduction of tax from a designated location, such as their personal inventory or warehouse.[3]
- Materials and resources (such as livestock) that were stored on foreclosed freeholds will be included in the auction for the deed to that freehold. Stored and placed props, such as furniture will be returned to the previous owner.[2]
- If you don’t pay taxes and other fines, your Freehold property will be foreclosed. When a Freehold is foreclosed on, stored and placed props like furniture are returned to the previous owner. Materials that were stored on a Freehold will be included in the auction for the Deed to that Freehold.[2]
- Non-payment of the game subscription will also result in loss of player housing.[4]
Housing taxes
When a node reaches stage 3 (Village) and a player run government has formed, all player housing will pay taxes.[5]
- A player's tax charge will be determined by the number of structures built on their plot.[6][7]
- Freehold taxes are calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.[2][8][9][6][7]
- Buildings that require permits will have additional upkeep costs.[2]
- Maintaining businesses requires licensing and payments to the node your Freehold is associated with. This permitting system allows for a certain number of buildings to be constructed on a Freehold. Permits can be obtained from the same node the Freehold was certified from, and buildings that require permits will have an additional upkeep cost.[2]
- Housing foreclosures result from failing to pay property taxes or other fees.[2]
Housing destructibility
Player housing designs and decorations are retained and can be placed again later if the housing is destroyed during a node siege.[2][10][11]
- Blueprints for homestead, business, and artisan freehold buildings, including progression and upgrades, are returned to the player.[2][12][10][11]
- A possible design idea is for items such as furnishings to be boxed in crates that are accessible inside the new home.[13]
Player housing grace period
If a player's subscription runs out, there will be a grace period before player housing is lost.[4]
