Farmland and its buildings in Green County averaged $4,242 an acre in the 2022 Census of Agriculture: the 54th cheapest of the 120 counties in Kentucky, 14% below the Kentucky average in the same census ($4,929).
In the 2017 census it was $2,595 an acre, so the average has risen 63% in five years.
| Farmland and buildings, an acre, 2022 | $4,242 |
|---|---|
| The same, 2017 | $2,595 +63% |
| Farms counted, 2022 | 902 (1,004 in 2017) |
| Average farm | 161 acres |
| Share of the county that is farmland | 79.3% |
| Median value of an owner-occupied home | $125,000 ± $25,600 |
The farm figure is land and buildings together, averaged over every farm in the county, from the largest ranch to the smallest holding. It is for comparing one county with another, not a price for any parcel: a few acres with road frontage usually costs more an acre than the average, not less. The home value comes from a survey that reaches few homes here, so its margin of error is wide.

Living here: tax, internet and hazards
Homeowners in Green County paid a median $817 a year in property tax, about 0.7% of the median home value. What a particular parcel pays depends on its exemptions and on whether it is taxed as farmland: see how Kentucky taxes farmland, and ask the county assessor what the parcel paid last year.
67% of the 4,421 households here pay for cable, fiber or DSL internet. That is what people subscribe to, not what reaches a given road: the FCC's broadband map shows what is offered at an address, and it is worth checking before you count on working from home.
| Hazard | FEMA risk rating |
|---|---|
| Inland flooding | Very Low |
| Coastal flooding | Does not occur here |
| Wildfire | Very Low |
| Tornado | Relatively Low |
| Hail | Relatively Low |
| Drought | Relatively Low |
| Hurricane | Very Low |
FEMA rates none of these as a relatively high risk here. Its ratings compare counties across the country and weigh how much property there is to lose, so a thinly settled county can rate low even where the hazard itself is common. For a particular parcel, look it up on FEMA's flood maps before you buy.

Buying land here: the Kentucky rules
Unpaid tax bills are sold as certificates at 12 percent, and a farm nobody farms keeps its farm tax only until it is sold.
