Councilmember Schue stated on the Market Value Change table Andover agricultural property
from 2024 to 2025 is -5.14%, but Countywide shows 6.62%. He asked why Andover would have
a negative number. Ms. Stellmach replied she would have to do some research as to why, but her
thought is some agricultural property in Andover has lost their agricultural status.
