Is there a way to own a land without a tier?

[jakey Collins]

My SL name is jakey Collins, I have been looking for land but I can't afford a tier so, is there a way I could buy a land and have no tier but pay a certain price only once??

[Cinnamon Lohner]

No.  Linden mainland always has a tier and private estates charge a recurring fee as well since they ultimately have to pay their tier to LL every month.

Hello jakey and welcome to SL Forums. Cinn gave you the right answer. However you can buy your Premium Membership. This way you will get a parcel on Mainland 512sq m2 with a linden home and 117 available prims without additional cost till your membership expires.

with out the good will of another resident allowing you to use their land as you wish for zero rent fees it's not possible to 'own' land in SL with out paying some sort of recurring rental fee either to another resident or LL

Perhaps if you tell us how much land you are looking for and what you want to use it for, someone might let you use their land.  It's a long shot but, heh... you never know.  Good luck!

If there was a way to do that and the word got out, SL would disappear almost overnight.  Just like real life, there's almost nothing that is free.....and what is free usually has strings attached.

You could buy a Premium account ($72 USD a year dues), then pay a one-time fee to buy no more than 512 M2 of land on the Mainland. You'll get most, if not all, of your money back over the next 12 months in the form of a weekly L$300 stipend from LL, and you'll pay no additional fees for the land. You will, however, still have to pay Linden Lab that $72 USD a year in membership dues, each year, or you'll lose the land.

512 M2 is pretty small. Just a 16M x 32 M rectangle (typical shape), and gives you only 117 prims to use for your house or store and everything in it. 

That's the closest thing to "land I don't have to pay tier on" in SL. You're still, paying LL for it, in the form of your membership dues.

For what I know, until 117 prims has no tier.
