While state law codifies that acreages of 5-20 acres of open space can qualify for ag valuation with Honeybees, there are some caveats that give each county discretion to adjust other factors.<\/p>\n

All:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Qualifying Acres are 5-acres to 20 acres.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Texas Tax Code: Subsection D states:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The term ( Agricultural Use) also includes the use of land to raise or keep bees for pollination<\/span> or for the production of human food or other tangible products having a commercial value, provided that the land used is not less than 5 or more than 20 acres.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We HIGHLY<\/strong> recommend that each qualifying plot of land using bees for ag valuation – have some sort of food plot that can be documented to satisfy the above requirement.\u00a0 \u00a0Photos of food plots, gardens, fruiting trees and plants, etc. will help your appraisal district documentation.\u00a0 \u00a0Use this as additional documentation – as North Texas may or may not have a honey harvest – depending on available forage for the bees.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check at least annually to see if your county appraisal district has changed any requirements<\/p>\n
