Farm Assessments
Here Higher Than
Baltimore County

If comparable farms in Balti-
more County were shifted to SINH
lar areas in Montgomery County,
the transferred Baltimore County
farms would have their front and
tillable land assessments jumped
by 20 per cent.
The hike in assessments would
occur, according to a survey of
property tax problems in rural
urban fringe areas by the Depart
m n of Agricultural Economies
and Marketing at the University
of Maryland, as a result of the
different methods of assessment in
the two counties.
Decrease Shown
At the same time, the report said
similar Montgomery County farms,
transferred to Baltimore County,
would show a 10 per cent decrease
in front and tillable land assessr
ment when Baltimore County as
sessment techniques were applied.
This report, prepared by F. E.
Hulse and W. P. Walker, pointed
out that;property tax methods and
policies as they apply to the as
sessment of farms in those areas
known as the rural-urban fringe
have recently been source of much
confusion for both tax payers and
public officials. The report stated
the confusion has come about as a
result of conflicting land uses where
farms are being sold for subdivision
or residential estate purposes at
prices which reflect inflated land
values.
Montgomery Way
The technique used in assessing
farms in Montgomery County is
based on 900-foot depth factor APP
piled to tillable land along up
county roads,. The remainder Of the,
land is assessed at IS per cent to
rs per cent of the front rate. Rates
vary along roads depending on dis
lance from suburban areas. There
is no separate rate in Montgomery
for the domestic acreage, and the
farm land class rates are not ne
cessarily related to urban lot as
sessment rates, the report pointed
out.
The technique of farm land as
sessment in Baltimore County, The
report said, should result in assess
ments which bear a general rela-
tionship to the assessment of lot
properties in nearby suburban
areas. The farm site is assessed
separately at rate per acre equiv
alent to nearly one-half the per
acre rate on nearby suburban lot
properties. Road front to a depth
OF 200 feet is assessed at one
fourth the domestic rate per acre;
other tillable land at one-half the
frontage rate; and OF her land
classes at lower rates.
Chief Differences
The researchers found that the
chief difference in these assess
ment techniques are found in con-
sideration given to various land
