[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1616758, member: 18945"] The OP didn't really say, but I believe he/she is inquiring about property tax exemptions instead of the fed/state tax id # which is for sales tax and federal tax use. It is the land that is actually being used for ag production..not total land owned in the parcel. For instance, here on my place, the area where my house is located is not under ag...about 1 acre. It IS under homestead exemption but the exemption amount for homestead is less than what the property tax ag exmption is tho there are other prevailing non-taxation reasons for declaring one's home & yard under homestead. If the county appraisal district really wanted to get pissy about it, I have my long approach road fenced off from the cattle and the county "could' drop that off ag if they really wanted to. 1/4 mile long X 45' wide= 1.4 acres that really isn't being used for production. (fenced off so we don't have to open and close gates every time we drive in or out.) Yes, a property owner that lives in a city but owns some rural land can get a property tax exemption on that rural land if he has leased/rented his land out to someone else for ag production. That 'someone else' is known as the 'operator'. If you've ever filled out that convoluted big package called the USDA Ag Census, you probably saw the section for "Operator". All the rest of the requirements still exist tho. My oldest sister after years of raising cattle, sold all her cattle in 2011, immediately leased her pastures to another cowman and is able to keep her ag exemption under the 'operator' deal. It's not about ownership..it's about the land's ag production. The legal land owner gets the property tax ag exemption of course..not the operator. [i]Farm Operator and Principal Farm Operator The farm operator is the person who runs the farm, making day-to-day management decisions. The operator could be an owner, hired manager, cash tenant, share tenant, and/or a partner.
