Assessed value

Farmland is valued on its soil productivity (35 ILCS 200/10-110 to 10-125). An assessed value is not what the property would sell for.35 ILCS 200 (Property Tax Code)

About these ratingsFEMA's index and what it measures

Ratings come from FEMA's National Risk Index (v1.20, planning-level) and the public federal and state maps named on each row, not a private climate model. FEMA rates each census tract from expected annual losses, community resilience and social vulnerability, for planning; it is not an assessment of this parcel.
