Property tax rates in Iowa by the way are quite high for homes. For farms, well, that is another subsidy as it were! The house in Winterset has a property tax bill that is about equal to the farm 2 miles south, even though it is worth at most about a fifth as much.
Maybe I should turn my flowers bed into a tomato garden and get a farm subsidy!
Winterset is close-ish to Des Moines. It's also at the junction of 2 highways. Primo real estate. 2 miles south and it's the middle of nowhere.
Also true in Ohio.
