Farm Land Exemptions Due By May 2
Is the land you own be-
ing used for agricultural
purposes? If it is, then
you may be eligible for
tax relief on that proper-
ty-
According to Doris
Wilson, office manager of
the Wharton County Ap-
praisal District, lan-
downers have the option
of applying either for
agricultural-use valua-
tion or for open-space
land valuation of their
property.
Applications must be
filed by May 2 this year
for any property to
receive agricultural-use
valuation, or for open-
space land valuation on
property that did not
receive that type of ap-
praisal in 1962
Two constitutional
amendments permit tax-
ation of land on its
agricultural use, or pro-
ductivity, value, Wilson
said. "This means that
taxes would be assessed
against the productive
value of the land instead
of what the land would
sell for in the open
market, she explained
Wilson noted that the
legal basis for special
land appraisal is found in
the Texas Constitution in
Art. VIII, Secs, l-d and
1-d-l. The two types of
land and valuation are
commonly called *‘ag-
use” or "l-d" and "open-
space” or “1-d-l", the
chief appraiser added.
"The requirements for
application and for
qualification of both the
land and the owner are
different," Wilson said.
For l-d ag-use valua-
tion, the owner must file
an application with the
chief appraiser each
year. Some other re-
quirements under this
provision are that the
land must be owned by
"a natural person,” not a
corporation, partnership,
agency or organization;

the land must have been
devoted exclusively to
agricultural use for at
least three years before
the year application is
first made, and the
agricultural business
conducted on the land
must be the owner’s
primary occupation and
source of income.
Also, the chief ap-
praiser must determine
that the landowner
qualifies and must ap-
prove the application,
and the owner has to file
a sworn statement each
year he applies, attesting
to the land’s agricultural
use.
For the other type of
land valuation, 1-d-l
open-space, the land may
be owned by a corpora-
tion or partnership and so
on, and the agricultural
business and need not be
the principle business of
the owner. Agricultural
and timber lands and
ecological laboratories
are eligible for 1-d-l ap-
praisal.
However, the land
must be involved in a
qualifying agricultural
use to the degree of inten-
sity generally accepted
in the area; it must have
been devoted principally
to a qualifying use for at
least five of the past
seven years, and, again,
the chief appraiser must
approve the application.
Once an application for
1-d-l valuation is filed
with the chief appraiser
and approved, a lan-
downer is not required to
submit another applica-
tion as long as the land
qualifies, unless the chief
appraiser requests
another application to
confirm current
qualification.
Wilson also explained
that the possibility for a
"rollback tax" exists
under either form of
special land valuation.
This liability for addi-
tional tax is created
under l-d valuation by
either a change in owner-
ship or a change in use of
the land, and it extends
back three years before
the year of the change.
Under l-d-1, a rollback
is triggered by change in
use to a nonagricultural
purpose that would not
qualify for productivity
valuation. Taxes are
recaptured for five years
before the year of the
change.
The additional tax ia
measured, Wilson said,
by the difference bet-
ween taxes paid under
productivity valuation
provisions and the taxes
which would have been
paid if the land had been
put on the tax roll at
market value.
More information and
application forms are
available from the local
appraisal office. Person-
nel there will be able to
assist landowners with
the information
necessary for determin-
ing if their property
qualifies for the pro-
gram.
