We’ve all seen the tremendous growth in wireless equipment.  A cell tower is no longer a “tower” but it can be on a light pole, a cactus, church bell tower, water tank, and so many more places.  An MAI appraiser will discuss how to value this type of property and walk us through the valuation process.  He will discuss leases, income, and what to do when co-locators are added. There will be discussion of solar site/project valuation and valuation of billboards.  An attorney who is experienced in defending these types of appeals will discuss the law.  The Division of Taxation representatives will discuss the availability of resources to the tax assessor and other issues related to assessment of cell towers and billboards.  There will also be a discussion by a farmer on what to look for when inspecting a farm, soil, and other farm related issues.  Last, an attorney who specializes in farm law will discuss cases.
