Rezoning and Farm Land Tax Debate in Urbana
Local assessment official William Burgee explained that rezoning farm land to higher use does not raise taxes immediately. Under a new state law, such land gets a dual assessment, with lower farm value while farmed and higher value if development begins, retroactive three years. He urged notifying assessors of rezoning actions as two cases, initiated by the Planning Commission, were moved to next month.
