Corn and soybeans.Mind if I ask what you grow?

Sounds like a nice getaway area.46 contiguous to the farm, 53 additional up in Northern Michigan (hunting and recreational ground) and an additional 65 rented on shares west of the farm. Our local ground is all in PA116 so the property taxes on it are minimal. All in alfalfa hay except the up north ground which is mostly old growth hardwood and conifers and just for hunting and warm weather camping in the RV.
The Lord ain't making anymore last time I checked.
I know our 20 acres property tax is around $500/year. There are no improvements on it. I can put a barn on it, and the taxes won't go up hardly at all. If I put electricity in that barn, or plumbing, or both, then it is improved, and taxes will go up. It's zoned AG right now.Do you guys have a vacant parcel tax imposed if the land or land with building is vacant... it can be an additional 6k per parcel... don't see how legal but it's been around awhile.
It's hitting folks with vacation places as they have to prove 50 day occupancy in a year and also hitting those that have lots with future building plans.
Once plans submitted or property is listed on MLS for sale the tax may not be due...
No. Out here my 10 acres is tax exempt ag on 9 of it. 1 acres is for horses. So i pay property tax on the 1 acre, which does not amount to much as its undeveloped.Do you guys have a vacant parcel tax imposed if the land or land with building is vacant... it can be an additional 6k per parcel... don't see how legal but it's been around awhile.

If that's true can't they simply not reply ????I really don't like this question. When you ask it of a real farmer, you might as well be asking them how much money they have saved or how much money they make.
