(KNZA)--Agricultural land values are up in area northeast Kansas counties this year over last year.
That’s according to information presented to the Brown County Commission Monday by County Appraiser Jeff Ball.
According to data from the state Division of Property Valuation, Brown County saw the biggest jump among area counties, with a 17 percent increase.
In Nemaha County, ag land values were up 15 percent. Atchison, Doniphan, and Marshall counties each saw a 14 percent increase. Jefferson County , a 12 increase; Jackson County, a 10 percent increase and Pottawatomie County, a 9 percent increase.
Ag land values were up statewide, ranging from a one percent increase in Clark County to a 42 percent increase in Trego County.
Ag land values are set by the state. The appraised value of agricultural land is based on the productive potential directly attributed to the natural capabilities of the land, not fair market value.
Property valuation notices were sent out last week in Brown County.
On the residential side, Ball said valuations in some areas went up 10 to 15 percent, while other areas in the county stayed the same or went down 3 to 5 percent.
