In a non agricultural county like yours there are no established norns for rental rates. This can be to your advantage. Most folks don't have a clue what to charge since they may never have been asked to rent land. At least that was my experence when I was in Bergen county just west of the city where there was less than 100 acres of tillable land left. I often got small patches of land for free and at the very least I offered to pay the property tax. I see Westchester has the highest taxes in the country  so that would be a fair place to start...

Hi All.

I know we talked about this briefly a while back but I couldn't find the thread in the archives.

I'm looking for land to lease in Westchester County NY, the county right above "The" City.  There aren't a whole lot of places with comparable economic structures!!! but I'm wondering if you can give me some idea of how much I should expect to pay per acre per month...or is it usually figured per year/season?  

I've now been asked twice what I'm willing to pay (hi Linsay :) and I have no idea where to even start negotiations.

Thanks in advance.  I hope everyone is settling into the new year with some optimism!

Warmly,
Deb
Sleepy Hollow NY
