Land owners can apply for special appraisals based on the property’s productivity value. The land’s ability to produce agricultural or timber products determines the productivity value, which is usually lower than market value. Land used to manage wildlife may also qualify for special use appraisal.

These special tax valuations are approved by Liberty County Central Appraisal District NOT Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service – Liberty County office. On their website you can find all the necessary forms and guidelines needed for each tax valuation you are seeking here
