Residential, Commercial and Industrial
Land and Improvements

The Department of Revenue's local offices appraise all land and improvements (except large industrial property). This includes:

  • Residential, commercial and industrial land and improvements
  • Agricultural and timber producing property
  • Mobile homes/Manufactured homes
  • 1-acre homesites located on non-qualified agricultural land and forest land
  • Golf courses

Market value of land and improvements is calculated using the cost, income and market approaches by the local office of the Department of Revenue.

Given a residence with phase-in value of $100,000 in tax year 2004, the tax liability is calculated as follows.

$100,000 = Phase-in Value
Homestead Exemption is 31.4%

$100,000 - ($100,000 x 31.4%) = $68,600
Phase-in Value - Homestead Exemption = Taxable Market Value

$68,600 x 3.30% = $2,264
Taxable Market Value x Taxable Percentage = Taxable Value

$2,264 x 400 mills = $905.60
Taxable Value x Mills = Taxes
