Leasing property for ag exemption

[12RingKing]

Does anyone on here lease their property for an ag exemption?

I was considering leasing to a beekeeper for tax purposes to learn how to be a beekeeper.

Anyone ever done this? Are there people willing to do that?

Bees only get you 2-3 acres of exemption iirc.

I have a little land and it's leased to a rancher that runs cattle.

I lease 8 acres in Hays county. Landowner gets the ag exemption. ( minimum is 5 acres and max is 20 acre for bees) Check with your county for requirements as they differ depending on location.

Not bees, but my 25 acres is leased for cattle for my ag exempt. I get a very nice tax break (whopping $27 last year) and he get a place to herd his cattle.

I run sheep on places like this. I get the grazing they get the ag exemption and lease money.

What sailer said, if you don't want to mess with anyone else out there, its very easy to do, I did it for 7 years. Give your local wild life biologist a call and they can help you with it all

Ag/timber most hassle free exemption there is. Don’t have to hassle with leasing or cows.

Once a property is in ag (you have to have ag first), the wildlife tax valuation is the way to go. Very easy and minimal requirements.

Timber and Cattle Lease. Convert to wildlife when you can.

You might want to check with your local beekeeping association or anyone on the south side of Houston. Do you have agriculture around you, by chance?

I currently have a wildlife exemption, however, it’s a pain to have to reapply each year. I considered rolling it back to ag because it was easier on me time wise.

What is the average savings for an ag exemption. We are looking at it in a few years? Thanks
