Lots of them, depending on where you live:
-tax authority (property taxes, water taxes)
water authorities (how are you getting your water? do you have a permit?)
fire authorities
environmental protection (how are you handling waste? are you damaging the environment, native species, etc.)
The list goes on and on, depending on how much they want to "go after you".
Also, it is very difficult to say you have your "own money free of any further taxation". The attitude of government is increasingly that they are free to tax whatever they want.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to "just be left alone".

You're reading I have my own land, my own money free of any further taxation and I grow/rear all my own food. I can also generate my heat & light and deal with waste. What official agency/body can still come to me for payment or rules/regulations, etc?

Water comes from the sky, so I'll collect that and store it.
Maybe I can get some from a river/stream if need be.
Property taxes - tax for what? I own my own home/land. Why must I pay tax on it? What do I get in exchange for paying property tax?
Fire - I'll take my chances.
Enviormental protection - just leave most things to nature.

In my town you pay for water pipe maintenance even if you DO NOT use any water (you can collect rain water but you'll still pay $55/month availability fee). The govmt will take your land away from you if you do not pay your yearly property taxes. Don't forget the code enforcement guys. They will take your land away from your if somebody ELSE dumps garbage on it and you don't clean it within a short period of time.
