I came across a problem while tagging private properties of people. There
is amenity = school to tag school area but is there any way to tag a land
property that belongs to a private owner (household) </pre>

</small>Landuse=residential ? Normally a village/town/city is
marked this way. But you could tag each individual property if you
wanted to .. But why? If your identifying property boundaries then
there maybe a legal responsibility .. are you taking that on?<big>
</big>I'd never bother tagging each individual property - too much
work .. and who will use it? </big><br>

within that land.</pre>

<br>
<big>Mark out the building itself as an area and tag building=yes
(or house if that is the case)</big>. <big>Same as any other
building ... This I do for any significant building .. but not for
normal homes ..<big> </big>In some places they might be mapped ..
but there are large areas of the world yet to have the main
features mapped.<big> </big>Having said that .. improve the map
what ever way pleases you. </big><br>

<pre wrap=""> Also how can you tag a private property which is unused?</pre>
</blockquote>
<big> Same as previous .. with a note 'unused' .. thought what does
that mean? Abandoned house? There is a tag 'disused'? somewhere,
might be applicable?
