Estimated Ag. Tax Impact Example

  • The attached document shows the averages for ag land for the five townships (where at least some of the township is in the D-C district) in Meeker County.  

      • Meeker County Average residential value = $230,000
      • Average ag values = about $5,000/tillable acre and the average-sized farm is about 300 acres.  This is a total ag value of about $1.5 million.
      • An example of the tax impact calculation based on those averages is shown in the document below.
      • The total monthly impact for a $230,000 home in Meeker County with 300 acres of ag land is $6.
