Eligibility application

Important

You only need to apply once. After that, your farm property will remain in the program and be taxed at the farm property class tax rate as long as you meet the eligibility requirements, including keeping your FBR number valid each year.

If you make any changes to the ownership or operations of your property, or if you need an exemption, you need to complete a new eligibility application.

Eligibility Application

​Complete the application to confirm your eligibility for the Farm Property Class Tax Rate Program for the following situations:

  • You recently purchased farmland If you recently purchased farmland, you may be eligible for the reduced property tax rate.
  • You made changes to your farmland ownership or operations help If you already get the reduced property tax rate but have changes to your farmland ownership or operations, you need to confirm your continued eligibility. Without completing the eligibility application, your reduced property tax rate may be affected.

    Common changes to ownership or operations:

    • Amended property rental agreements or land usage
    • Updated farm business structures
    • Transferring ownership to a family member
    • Adding or removing a spouse after a marriage or separation
    • Ownership becomes part of an estate
    • Name change
  • You need an exemption In some scenarios, property owners or tenants may be exempt from an eligibility requirement of the Farm Property Class Tax Rate Program.

Note: The application must be completed by the property owner.
