About these numbersSources, county file July 2025
Tax value
Tax value: the county's yearly assessment (gross assessed value, trended every year), not a market price. County file, July 2025.
Gross assessed value (the county assessor's market value-in-use, trended every year), not a market estimate. Farmland is assessed by the state's base-rate formula, well below what farmland sells for.
Estimate
Rough estimate: based on the assessed value of the buildings, scaled by recent home prices, plus typical prices per acre in Blackford and nearby counties. Not tested to our accuracy standard. Half of past estimates were within ±20% (measured across nearby counties); the range covers about 8 in 10.
Parcel outline
The outline and its edge lengths are measured on the parcel map the map draws; the aerial loads from the public imagery named under it.
