(KNZA)--Agricultural land values are expected to be significantly lower in the coming year for Doniphan County farmland affected by this spring's Missouri River flooding.
That's what Doniphan County Appraiser Danielle Kiefer told County Commissioner's this week.
Kiefer said the state Division of Property Valuation evaluated the land that is or was underwater. She said the land is not expected to be available for planting during the 2020 crop year.
Kiefer said land values will be changed from crop to grass, which could reduced valuations by as much as 75 percent. That will mean a big loss of revenue for many taxing entities in the county, affecting their 2021 budgets.
Kiefer said once the affected ground comes back into producation, valuations will revert back to crop values.
She is working on making necessary changes and will have appraised values for the Commission's review on or before March 1, 2020.
