Assessing trends in forest parcelization and development in Minnesota : an Itasca County case study.
No full textThe purpose of the study was to empirically quantify the
extent and location of forest parcelization activity within a defined geographic area over a multiyear
period and to quantify the relationship between parcelization and development activity. This
study explores what is happening at the local scale through a case study of Itasca County, Minnesota, and sets forth a methodology for utilizing statewide real estate parcel data for
examining parcelization and development activity over time.Mundell, Joseph; Taff, Steven J.; Kilgore, Michael A.; Snyder, Stephanie. (2007).

Agricultural Land Conversion in the Twin Cities: Part II, the National Resources Inventory
No full textWe divided the thirteen-county Twin Cities Metropolitan Statistical Area into a "core" and a "fringe" of seven and six counties, respectively. The National Resources Inventory estimates that 170 thousand acres of the Core were converted from agriculture to other uses between 1982 and 1987, while only about 46 thousand acres of the Fringe were so converted. The conversion rate was much greater in the Core than on the Fringe according to the NRI but not according to the Census of Agriculture. The number of acres of agricultural land converted for each new resident ranged from 0.15 in Sherburne County to 2.49 in Pierce County. Viewed another way, the increase in urban land to house new residents ranged from 0.28 in Ramsey County to 1.23 acres per person in Isanti County.Wegner, Thomas D.; Ploetz, Susan; Taff, Steven J..

Tracking the Effects of Conservation Easements on Property Tax Valuations
No full textWe establish a procedure to track the tax valuation history of properties that are fully or partially restricted with conservation easements to test the assertion that easements result in lower property valuations. Easements didn't decrease property valuations; they merely decreased the rate of value for the affected properties. On average, the restricted properties' valuations increased at a rate lower than did those for unrestricted properties - but not always, and certainly not uniformly. Valuation policy is specific to the local tax assessor: no sweeping assertions about easements and property taxes is warranted.Land Economics/Use,
