Agricultural Valuations
Professional Honey Bee Agriculture Evaluation in Austin, TX
Maximize your property tax savings with our agricultural valuation services in Georgetown, TX. In 2012, the Texas Legislature acknowledged the importance of honey bee colonies for agricultural purposes, offering a 1-d-1 agriculture tax valuation for properties between 5 and 20 acres. This is specified in the Tax Code under Chapter 23, Subchapter D, Section 23.51 (1) and (2). Most counties require at least 6 acres if your property includes a homestead. Using honey bees for an agricultural valuation can save you hundreds to thousands of dollars on your property taxes.

Steps to Agricultural Valuation
If you’ve purchased a property with an existing agricultural valuation registration, simply submit your application to the county to continue the valuation. Without a current agricultural valuation, you’ll need to maintain bees on your property for five out of seven years to qualify.
