Farmland Values in a Changing World: Challenges for Assessors and Municipalities

December 17, 2024

Farmland values are rising amidst urban expansion, environmental degradation, and shifting social norms. Cities grew large due to fertile soils, favorable climates, and natural harbors. As urbanization intensifies, property assessors and municipalities face new challenges in valuing land and setting policy. This talk explores how agriculture has influenced land use and property values, the complexities of valuing transitioning lands, and the impact of modern agricultural practices. We’ll present future scenarios, such as shifts in diet or climate change, and discuss the role of municipalities in land use planning and policy decisions. Gain insights into analyzing sales for farm valuations and the critical role of municipalities in sustainable land use.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

As this will be my last newsletter before the forthcoming festive holiday, may I take this opportunity to wish you a very enjoyable break with family and friends.

I read a recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) Fund blog titled “How Property Taxes Can Help Low-Income Countries to Develop”. It stated: “Satellites, drones, and the right policies can help countries increase revenue by up to 10 times at the local level.” It went on to state: “The world’s governments must raise an additional $3 trillion to achieve sustainable and inclusive economic growth goals this decade. The cost in emerging markets equals 4 percent of gross domestic product - and 16 percent for low-income countries.
