Description: It’s used for figuring out if a property/parcel gets a green acres value deferment. We look at the typeOf land that is within the 400’ buffer. If there’s 50% or more tillable land then 100% of that lakeshore valueGets deferred from value/taxes. If there’s less than 50% then there is no deferment.

Description: Soil is a material composed of five ingredients — minerals, soil organic matter, living organisms, gas, and water. Soil minerals are divided into three size classes — clay, silt, and sand; the percentages of particles in these size classes is called soil texture. The mineralogy of soils is diverse. For example, a clay mineral called smectite can shrink and swell so much upon wetting and drying that it can knock over buildings. The most common mineral in soils is quartz; it makes beautiful crystals but it is not very reactive. Soil organic matter is plant, animal, and microbial residues in various states of decomposition; it is a critical ingredient — in fact the percentage of soil organic matter in a soil is among the best indicators of agricultural soil quality. Soil colors range from the common browns, yellows, reds, grays, whites, and blacks to rare soil colors such as greens and blues.

Description: Each township is then broken down into 36 square mile sections, meaning the township is six sections wide by six sections tall. Section count begins in the northeast corner of the townships and uses the boustrophedon method, snaking back and forth through the township.Within each section there are quarter sections and even sixteenths. These break up the sections into smaller pieces of land, 160 acres (quarter) and 40 acres (sixteenth) for subdividing the land into regular units. Examples of quarters would be NE quarter, NW quarter and the sixteenths follow as NE quarter of the NW quarter.
