The land isstill taxed the same way asimproved property for real estate. The "va|ue"ismultiplied bv3.O7%toarrive at
ataxable value. The big question would be how is it valued by the Dept of Revenue? Commercial, residential or ag value
would probably affect the taxes generated. For City special assessments vvedocap vacant land a12acres toencourage
annexation. Once the property is subdivided, like Old School Station, the caps don't apply because each parcel is less
than 2 acres. Residential properties are capped at Y2 acre; no cap for commercial -except for Forestry, capped at $300.
Hope that helps.

Fred asked me this question but it should be directed to you and I can learn from the answer as well. Fred stated "raw
land istaxed otwhat rate when itieannexed into the oKv?' Furthermore, Fred stated that the assessment orthe tax rate
is "capped at two acres." Is this true? Kellie
