Ag Value Facts

Madison County Average Market Value / Acre = $4,500

Highest CAUV value in Madison County = $1,960

This equates to a 56% decrease in value for the most productive farm land in the county.

Average % of CAUV value to Market value in Madison County is 32%

QUESTION #2

If Farm CAUV values went up by 55% in 2011 then why did the schools tax revenues

only go up by 3.9% ($221,876)?

ANSWER #2:

Once a school levy is passed , the amount of money collected from that levy may not

exceed the amount received in the first year of collection.

(Except for Inside Millage, which is not Voted-in and New Construction)
