land ag tax exemption question

[unclefish]

Every county is different....depends on the appraiser.

In Burleson County for a wildlife exemption you must have a biologist come out and have him formulate a plan to submit to the county. Also you must submit proof that you are doing the items on your list by submitting pictures yearly.

It is true that most expenses can not be written off if you are under wildlife exemption as it is not a profit generating business. In order to write stuff off, you have to be getting some sort of income to offset it. But, that probably also depends on who does you taxes.

I don't know the straight answer to this but I do know the new form you have to fill out for your tax number to be farm use Ag exempt specifically says
Wildlife feed/supplies is not tax exempt

You can have it wildlife exempt and still graze cattle on the place as a management tool.

This is for who does and doesn't pay sales tax only. Has nothing to do with property tax.

I didnt know I could rest it like that, I will discuss that with the appraiser. I wouldnt mind planting alfalfa fields or something like that, keeping water troughs and shooting yotes and other predators. I would be saving money by paying the taxes on the land rather than feeding these bottomless cows this year

I am about to sell off my cows as the cost of keeping them over the winter is just too much. I was reading in my county tax agricutural land exemption requirements and 1 that stuck out was wildlife management. Does anybody have any idea what I have to do to qualify for this?

not sure, but i have heard that you can remove the livestock for a few years and still keep your exemption

Im times of drought there are no mandatory requirements for an ag evaluation.. you do what you have to do until times get better.

However your ag practice needs to be typical of what is occuring in the area..

Pm me if you need some help or have some questions.
