asses�or's property values versus sales prices of recent subdivisions.

The following is a comparison of one recent subdivision showing the
flat fee per lot vs. a percentage of the value of raw land for park
dedication fees: : , ,.
n� . � �' �
Subdivision
35-40 acres Sale Price = $195,000.00
11 2-acre parcels @ $400 = $4 ,400. 00
5$ of raw land value = $9,750.00
Because there are so many variables that must be considered, it is
important that we discuss this at the meeting on March 7, 1989.
