Doesnt happen. Wont happen with western legislatures being the spearhead for landowner welfare. Ag prop taxes are laughably cheap - grazing public is even cheaper.I am just wondering about potential outcomes for this whole corner-crossing issue. I wonder if the public land that is landlocked should be taxed as if it were private? Since the private land owner that surrounds this land enjoys the full benefits of this public land (wildlife, privacy etc.), then why in essence they are benefitting from this. They only pay taxes now on the land they own, but what if the county land appraisers were to impute a value to the extra public acreage that is adjacent to their private lands? Or does this already occur? Anybody know for sure? In other words, we jack up the taxes on these private landowners, and in effect the marketplace lowers the value of their existing property.
