No, you would have to make the election to capitalize certain costs by attaching a statement to your return and mailing it in.

Do you have to make the 266 election/ statement every year?

Or once you make it, can you just continue to capitalize property taxes and HOA fees on vacant land?

This is an annual election, so you would make the election for each year you want the election to be valid for.
