Internal bank collateral evaluations only. Values are developed by
sales comparison analysis of recorded Nebraska agricultural land sales (county assessor
and Department of Revenue records), with the UNL Farm Real Estate Market Survey available
as a benchmark and fallback basis. This tool does not produce a certified appraisal;
transactions above regulatory thresholds require an independent appraisal. Verify
comparable sale facts against the county source of record before relying on them.
This tool develops an internal collateral evaluation of Nebraska agricultural land using
the sales comparison approach. Describe the subject property from county
assessor records (tracts and improvements), then select comparable sales — the tool
recommends recorded sales ranked by proximity, land-use similarity, and recency, including
state-qualified arm’s-length transactions from the Department of Revenue sales file. With
three or more comparables, the adjustment grid produces a transparent, reproducible value
range; the UNL Farm Real Estate Market Survey serves as a benchmark and as the fallback
basis when comparables are insufficient. The result generates an evaluation report suitable
for the loan file. Methodology & audit tables →
1 Property County
Subject Location (optional)
Enter the legal location (Section–Township–Range) or paste coordinates.
Used to rank recommended comparable sales by distance from the subject.
— or —
On the county assessor's parcel page, select and copy the soil/land table, then paste it below.
The tool reads tab-separated text as copied from most browser tables and maps soil type,
land use, acres, and LVG or class to the tract builder automatically.
Common column names recognized: Soil Type, Land Use, Land Type, Acres, LVG, Class.
Parsed rows — review before adding
Rows flagged ⚠ review have an ambiguous land use or class —
adjust them in the tract builder after importing. Rows with no acreage are skipped.
2 Land Tracts
Add one row per tract, as detailed on the county assessor's parcel record (or import
the assessor table above). The land-use mix drives comparable selection and the
equivalent-acre analysis; the quality class supports the survey fallback basis.
County $/Acre is the assessor's unit value for the tract (sometimes labeled Unit
Value, Base Rate, or Ag/Acre) — shown for reference and reconciliation.

3 Improvements (optional)
Enter county assessor values for buildings, bins, wells, tile systems, or other
improvements. These are added to the land value estimate to produce a total property
value. Assessed values for improvements reflect county assessor judgment and may
differ from replacement cost or contributory market value.
Improvement Description
County Assessed Value
No improvements entered.
Nebraska agricultural improvements are typically assessed at market value for tax
purposes. If the county assessed value significantly understates replacement cost,
consider supplementing with a cost-approach estimate for credit memo purposes.
4 Comparable Sales (optional)
Select the comparable sales that will drive the valuation. Recommend Sales suggests
recorded sales ranked by proximity to the subject, land-use similarity, and recency — sales tagged
state-qualified were determined arm's-length by the county assessor. You can also enter a sale
manually. With three or more usable comparables, the Sales Comparison Analysis below becomes the
primary valuation; each sale's price, acres, and land-use mix feed the equivalent-acre grid, where
adjustments and weights are applied.
