This productivity appraisal means qualified land is taxed based on its ability to produce crops, livestockor timber—not on its value on the real estate market. And it can mean substantial property tax savings.When is the application deadline?If your land has never had a productivity appraisal, you must apply to your local appraisal district by May 1 to take advantage of this benefit on your 1995 property taxes. You may get up to 60 extra days if you have a good reason and ask for it by May 1. If you miss this deadline, you may still be able to apply, but you will pay a penalty. Check with your appraisaldistrict office.Do you need to reapply annually?If your land already receives agricultural or timber productivity appraisal, you normally don't need to reapply unless the chief appraiser requires you to. If a new application is required, the appraisal district will notify you by mail.For more information, call or come by:COMAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT 178 E. MILL ST. #101 NEW BRAUNFELS, TX 78130(210) 625-8597
