Texas Agricultural, Timberland and Wildlife Management Use Special Appraisal

Texas property-tax special appraisal that values qualifying farm, ranch, timber and wildlife-management land on its productivity instead of market value. Landowners apply to the county appraisal district with Comptroller forms (50-129 ag, 50-167 timber).

• Land devoted principally to agricultural use or timber production (1-d-1 generally five of the past seven years).

• Wildlife management use qualifies if previously qualified open-space or timberland.

Published amounts: Land appraised at productivity value, which is usually lower than market value.

File Form 50-129 (1-d-1 agricultural), 50-165 (1-d), 50-167 (1-d-1 timberland) or 50-281 (restricted-use timberland) with the county appraisal district.
