Excerpt from Land Classification as a Basis for Land Appraisal and Equalization of Tax Assessments: Report on the Land Classification Study in Nevada Township, Story County, Iowa
In the past few years an increasing amount of attention has been given to the categorical treatment of land areas under the gen eral term land classification. Both as to objectives and as to form, the procedures which have been included under this name have been very diverse.
The very great diversity of form and features, which are necessary to meet the different purposes which land classification may serve, leads to the inference that there is no one type of land classification which serves equally well all possible purposes, or answers all questions which, on occasion, need to be answered con cerning the differential treatment of land. Hence, almost any land classification will logically be undertaken to serve some stated purpose or purposes, and to answer certain specific questions.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a critical issue in the American Midwest during the mid-20th century: the need for a more equitable system of land classification and appraisal. The author, working in cooperation with the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station, conducted a detailed study in Nevada Township, Story County, Iowa, to assess the relationship between land productivity and its valuation for both taxation and mortgage loans. The study utilized a sophisticated method of classifying land based on soil type, slope, erosion, and present land use, resulting in 58 separate land classes. By meticulously mapping and analyzing each land class, the author was able to assign a productivity rating, measured in feed units, to each. This system was then used to evaluate the fairness of existing tax assessments, which the author found to be significantly uneven. The author demonstrates that while there is a general correlation between land productivity and tax assessments, this relationship is far from perfect. The study highlights the need for a more nuanced system of land appraisal that takes into account not only the potential of land but also its actual use and the constraints imposed by erosion and other factors. This work offers a compelling glimpse into the complex relationship between land use, economic value, and public policy during a period of significant agricultural change in the United States.
