Farm and ranch land in Lynn County can be taxed at ag-use value

On Lynn County farm and ranch land, ag appraisal looks at what the land can produce. It does not start with what a buyer might pay for it.

Texas rules let farm, ranch, timber, and some wildlife land qualify. The land has to be mainly in ag use, meet the local intensity standard, and usually show ag or timber use for at least five of the past seven years.

File through Lynn County Appraisal District. If qualified land shifts to non-ag use, Texas rollback tax can reach the previous three years, so ask before a shop, subdivision, or other new use changes the tax story.
