Hall County staff explains 'first acre' land pricing after resident questions
A resident questioned how the county values acreage on tax notices; staff explained the county's approach: a higher per-acre value for the first acre of a residential parcel (around $32,000 in examples), lower rates for the next five acres, and a still-lower per-acre rate beyond that, and offered to email a written breakdown.
The full story
During the hearing a caller with acreage asked why the land value on the assessor’s notice seemed high. County staff explained the formula used in recent reevaluations: the first acre that houses a residential parcel carries a higher per-acre rate (examples given in the hearing used roughly $32,000 for the first acre), the next several acres are assessed at a lower rate (roughly $5,000 per acre in the discussion) and acreage beyond that uses an even lower per-acre figure.
