Only about 10 percent of total valuation comes from agricultural land.

1993 1994 Property Valuation Comparison Chart
A county and city valuation comparison explains how total property values are calculated after removing tax exempt properties. It details farmstead inclusion in county residential figures, excludes farmsteads in city residential totals, and notes tax rates of 11.5 percent on residential and farmstead properties and 30 percent on commercial properties.
