Texas land ownership
Texas 1-d-1 agricultural valuation
Potential annual property-tax savings on qualifying land—not an exemption, eligibility decision, or property valuation.
A clearer view of land ownership costs.
Estimate only: (land market value − productivity value) × tax rate ÷ 100. Homes, homesites, and other nonqualifying improvements are excluded, as are exemptions, special assessments, rollback taxes, and future rate or value changes.
Discuss a ranch purchaseQualification is determined locally.
Your county appraisal district determines eligibility and productivity value. Agricultural use generally must meet local intensity standards and the five-of-seven-year use history, with exceptions and additional rules. Owning 10 acres alone does not qualify a property. A change of use can trigger rollback taxes; confirm eligibility, application requirements, and any liability with the appraisal district before buying.
