Ward County has seen a modest 2.67% increase in agricultural land values for 2025, setting the average at $830.43 per acre. On Tuesday, the County Commission narrowly decided to peg property tax calculations at 94% of this certified value, after a lively debate on whether to ease the percentage to give local property owners a break. While some commissioners argued for a softer approach, concerns about compliance with state requirements ultimately shaped the decision. As tax seasons unfold, this move highlights the Commissioner’s attempt to balance tax burdens and adhering to tax law.
