Thanks again for trying! As for the Assessors response, I'm not taking it as a refusal to help me, but rather they explained that I already have a Land Value separated out on my Tax Bill, so they think I can calculate this on my own, and they cannot/will not reassess my land value for me for this purpose. Anyway after doing a search for unimproved land of up to 1 acre near me, I'm finding those values are even less than what my own re-calculated Land Value would be, which would mean I'd have to decrease the property tax I paid even more, which gets me even further away from qualifying for this credit. Therefore, since I'm assuming that I really DO have to adjust down that property tax I paid based on a lesser amount of land than I actually own, it seems obvious I can't qualify for the credit and I'll stop trying! It just seems odd that we cannot claim the full tax we paid on our property for a credit like this - like why is it only based on 1 acre, if all other eligibility criteria is met? I'm not expecting an answer to that question because I know "that's just the way it is" so I think my quest to understand it stops here 🙂 Thanks again!
