Revenue - Property Tax Unit - Wild Or Unimproved Lands Tax Digests
Scope and Contents
These are tax digests for wild or unimproved lands, which were taxed at a lower rate than improved real estate. The digests for each county are arranged by militia district and for each owner of wild lands the following information is shown: (1) name and post office address; (2) the number of acres of land owned; (3) the section, district and land lot number of each parcel; (4) the county where the land is located; and (5) the total value of the land. The form provides space to show the tax assessment but this is rarely filled in. Often at the end in each county's annual digest there is a recapitulation page that shows the total value of wild lands in each district. There are no digest for some counties, particularly those counties created since 1905.
