Combining the best of Georgian and Harberger taxes
pa pi3y10

There is no calculation problem whatsoever in appraising land, which is commonplace today. It's only influenced by uniform application of the same formula to every enrolled parcel, so the comparison will vary a bit, but remain generally fair. It's not at all essential to arrive at a 'perfect' number, it's just an administrative decision. It's just the method of arriving at standard equivalence, otherwise it could just be $5,000/acre across the board

If you don't like the assessment it's immediately appealable through the administrative process, and then into the judicial courts. That's how it works right now, the innovation of Henry George is taxing only the land value, and ignoring the improvements.
