GIS in Agland Valuation Forum
We're opening this forum to invite discussion and create a resource for ND County Tax Directors and Geographic Information System (GIS) professionals to find and share helpful information regarding the implementation of ND Agland Valuation methods using GIS.
Please visit this site often to see what is being discussed throughout the state and hopefully find answers to your questions. For those counties that are employing outside GIS companies to get your valuation methodology up and running, feel free to invite them to become a part of this discussion.

As a follow-up from Commissioner Fong's reply - I thought I'd share this website which discusses the 2008 Farm Bill and it's impact on the CLU GIS layer availability. (Copy the link and paste it to your address bar.)

RE: Freedom of Information Act Request – Common Land Unit Data
House Bill (HB) 1303, passed by the 2007 North Dakota Legislative Assembly, amended North Dakota Century Code § 57-02-27.2(8). This law now requires local assessors to consider soil type and soil classification data from detailed or general soil surveys, the schedule of modifiers to be used within the county, and actual use of the property for cropland or noncropland purposes, when forming the relative value of each assessment parcel under their responsibility.
In March of this year, to assist you and your local assessors in carrying out the duties specified in HB 1303, I asked our office to send a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request to the United States Department of Agriculture - Farm Service Agency (USDA-FSA). The FOIA request sought releasable information County FSA offices may have in their possession pertaining to field delineations and use of agricultural lands in North Dakota.
Specifically, the request sought common land unit (CLU) data collected and maintained by USDA-FSA. The objective was to enable the CLU information, if made available, to be shared with your office for use by you and your assessors when making land valuation determinations required by HB 1303.
Our FOIA request was denied. The 2008 Farm Bill specifically barred new or updated CLU data from release to the public. Thus, any appeal of the denial would likely fail.
I understand at least one North Dakota county has found some success in obtaining field delineation information using an on-line customized mapping service and their information is current as of May of this year. This, and similar alternatives, may prove useful in acquiring the information you need to fulfill your valuation requirements under HB 1303.
If you have any questions pertaining to this matter, please let me know.
