<br />Question:
<br />
<br />If I should grant an easement on my land and the United States pnys me
<br />compensation, \.,'Ould this r.1~nn that my lane has gune dOlm in value? If
<br />so, would my property taxes go dO'~1?
<br />
<br />~
<br />
<br />The ans"er is yes to both quesrions. The Fnited States "ould pay for an
<br />easement only if an appraisal indicates that ilOposition of th~ easelll~nt
<br />actually reduces the current market va lue of your property. f,xpe-r.J.ent'e

<br />Your ~cconu question which pertni"s to property tax is difficult to
<br />anS>1er positively. In theory, if your property goes do,..'n in value, your
<br />property ta>:"s should also go dD\:n. J:n actual pr<1cticc we doubt that
<br />your taxes will go down. The reason being that most rural property is
<br />grossly under valued for property tax purposes.
