A major component of the system is land and to determine present land values for Lino Lakes, a review of land sales records (certificates of real estate) from the Anoka County Assessors Office for 2000 and 2001 was conducted. The land sales records revealed the following: 1. Raw land sales for property within the MUSA ranged from about $22,600 to $30,000 per acre with an average of $26,300 per acre for residential properties. 2. The land value identified at the time of preliminary plat (for the purpose of calculating park dedication), for Bluebill Acres and Highland Meadows ranged from $23,164 to $26,023 dollars per acre. 7 Lino Lakes Park Dedication Analysis
