If there is an IRC 266 election on this property, then all taxes,
interest, and probably all fees on this vacant land could be
capitalized, right?. The storm water fee sounds like a carrying
charge.

What kind of utility fees would you have on vacant land?

You can always deduct real or personal property tax based on the value
of property on your Schedule A.

The answer to your loan interest question requires more information.
