An application for agricultural classification of land must be completed and submitted to the Property Appraiser's Office from January 1 through March 1 of the year the owner first applies for greenbelt. This application is a declaration to the County that the owner's primary use of the property is for commercial agricultural purposes on January 1.
Every property is inspected before greenbelt is granted.
Thereafter, the property will be re-inspected every year. The Property Appraiser has the right to remove the greenbelt classification if the property is no longer being utilized for a commercial agricultural purpose. Once granted the application will automatically renew. If your application for the agricultural classification is denied, you will be notified by certified mail. Whether such land is under lease, and if so, the effective length, terms, and conditions of the lease.
