Vacation101 said: Several years ago I was on a bus tour around the island and the driver said the reason there are so many houses--where the construction is not complete-- is that you don't have to pay taxes until the house is completed. Not sure if his comment is true-- but maybe they plan to partially construct the house and finish later. The Dutch Side does not collect property taxes. More likely, the owner runs out of money and/or contractors go bankrupt and there is a gap to find a new contractor to finish the house.
