Description
Tax recovery lands are lands that were at one time privately owned. A large amount of land, mostly in southern Alberta, became tax recovery land. Drought, poor farming practices and the Depression led many people to forfeit their land as they were unable to pay municipal taxes. Since 1930, the province of Alberta has acquired some tax recovery lands and managed them as public land. Most of this land has been under grazing leases for decades.
