It cites Minnesota data where ordinary land is valued at about 90 percent, good land at 62 percent, and poor land at 125 percent. It notes cities show residences valued at 35 percent while workers’ homes reach 80 percent, urging reform as the tax burden falls unfairly on ordinary and poorer properties.
