Hi, I wanted to estimate the size of one of my fields, which has an irregular shape so I figured out how to do that using Google Earth. More to the point, someone else figured it out, and I watched it on Youtube and got it to work.
I bought the land as 40 acres (as advertized), and I always thought it odd that the tax statement had it divided into three parts (20, 12, and 8ac) according to land use. There are two Property Identification (PID) numbers for the land, which do not match any of the numbers on the tax forms, although the tax form doesn't have PID numbers listed.
Anyways, it seems like the "40 acres" is actually only 32ac according to my measurements on Google Earth, and that matches two of the divisions on the taxes... I'm going to go into the tax office and get to the bottom of this!!!
I wonder how common it is for land to be bought and sold, and taxed, without really being the correct size?
You can see how to do the area measurement on Google Earth on this video:
