A land value tax (LVT) is a method of assessing property taxes that only considers the value of the land itself and related improvements, and not the structures built on the land. An LVT is considered to be a more fair method of land taxation for agricultural regions where the land is productive.
You can do this by visiting the local property assessor's website or office. The tax card will give you a value for the land and a value for the building.
Direct Sales: Recent sales of similar vacant parcels are compared with the subject property. Adjustments are made for differences among the properties and are used to create indicators of value for the land under appraisal. The sales comparison approach is the most reliable method of land valuation.
