I want to know how they came up with the over $700,000 part. I assume that means it is close to $700,000 which would put it in the $2,400 to 2,500 an acre range. I am guessing on the open market that land would go for much more than that.

Not under a public waterway. $500 to $600 an acre.

I know in the past it was appraised lower in the river. The landowners still have to pay taxes on that ground which is useless unless you can dredge sand or something from it. If the landowners had to pay taxes on land that valued the same as timbered ground I could forsee a quick lawsuit coming against said county.
