Land's assessed valuation increase

[Carey]

Cathy, I know other counties, in other states do offer lower tax rates for land that is set up & conforms to certain conservation standards (our last property in Illinois had a conservation easement that we established for wildlife migration to a stream, and had a wildlife exemption, for that portion of property, on our valuation). In looking at the property tax web page, I noticed that conservation lands were taxed at the highest rate, so it may be detrimental in this county to establish. Without a re-evaluation of your property value, you would end up paying more taxes for your conservation lands than your residential lands!
