Is there an average tax base associated with 100 acres of a solar farm?

This number varies widely from county to county and a solar developer will typically negotiate a FILOT (fee-in-lieu-of-tax). That agreement stipulates a certain payment per year for a particular time period (30 years, for example). In reviewing previous FILOT agreements, it looks like a $24,000 yearly tax bill for a 100-acre parcel is fairly normal.
