Who We Are
In order to help Commissioners of Revenue in the process of determining reasonable use-values, the Virginia State Land Evaluation Advisory Council (SLEAC) contracts with personnel in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at Virginia Tech to develop use-value assessment estimates of land in agricultural and horticultural uses.
Each year, we calculate these estimates and provide them to SLEAC. Once approved, these are the recommended use-value estimates for Commissioners and assessors throughout Virginia to use in their programs.
