"The Crown" owns all land and people "buy" it in fee simple meaning they have perpetual rights to it, unless it's taken from them under eminent domain "public works" type confiscation, or other usurpation such as taxes being paid by confiscation and sale of the land - land is taxed according to its value. <Are all the land and resources in New Zealand controlled by the national government? > There's a "Treaty of Waitangi" racist agreement still being argued over with no end in sight, with Maoris trying to create for themselves a pre-eminent position in New Zealand such as "Whites" had in South Africa. Most Maori tribes ceded sovereignty to the British Crown, though some did not, which presumably created a legal limbo for those relatively few areas, which were simply subsumed without agreement into the overall legal framework. Maoris got their land by killing and eating the people they displaced in genocidal conflict. Whoever held something in 1840 were deemed to be the legal owners. Mqurice
