About these numbersSources, county file September 2025
Tax value
Tax value: the county's yearly assessment (gross assessed value, trended every year), not a market price. County file, September 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 typical prices per acre for land this size in Madison and nearby counties. Not tested to our accuracy standard. Half of past estimates were within ±55% (measured across nearby counties); the range covers about 8 in 10. Land only; any building is not included.
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.
