This helps identify potential permanent changes of use to a different highest and best use. Identifying the highest and best use of land is fundamental in estimating a vacant land value and identifying comparable sales of vacant land.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/189895}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.189895}, }
