Taxpayers may only be released from the taxation to which wasteland and waste land, moorland and heathland and land habitually flooded or devastated by water must be subject if these properties are relinquished in favour of the commune in which they are located.
The detailed declaration of this perpetual abandonment is made in writing, at the town hall of the commune, by the owner or by a special proxy.
The assessments for land thus abandoned included in the rolls drawn up prior to the abandonment remain payable by the taxpayer assessed.
For subsequent rolls, the property tax is borne by the commune.
Payment of the property tax relating to marshes and wasteland which have no private owner as well as land known as communal property, is the responsibility of the commune as long as they are not shared.
The tax due for land that is common only to certain portions of the inhabitants of a commune is paid by the commune section.
