Where the boundaries and taxes come from
Parcel shapes are Skagit County’s own GIS parcel layer. Acreage, current use, and taxes are from the Skagit County Assessor for each active parcel inside Concrete city limits. Zoning districts come from the Washington Zoning Atlas spatial database, joined to each parcel by parcel ID and area overlap.
Why scenarios appear
Each parcel is screened by zoning, current use, parcel size, taxable baseline, and model exclusions. The public view shows one scenario when the parcel has a plausible modeled path.
What the map color means
Map color is current city revenue per acre. Grey parcels are excluded from the future-opportunity model, but still appear because they are part of the city’s current land revenue picture.
The gain formula
Each eligible scenario estimates added assessed value from units, acreage, or commercial reuse assumptions. annual gain = added assessed value / 1000 × levy rate, then 10-year gain = annual gain × 10 × 50% buildout factor.
Why this uses city revenue
The public view focuses on the property tax revenue estimated to flow to Concrete. The database also keeps total-public-revenue assumptions for deeper analysis.
The citywide number
The summary sentence uses eligible residential parcels only. Excluded parcels stay on the map, but do not contribute to the opportunity total.
