1-d-1 (Open-Space) Timberland Appraisal
馃嚭馃嚫 TX, United States 路 Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and county appraisal districts
Property tax based on the land's timber productivity value, usually lower than market value
Texas lets qualifying timberland be appraised on its ability to produce timber instead of its market value. The Comptroller publishes the application form and appraisal manual; the county appraisal district decides each application.
Who qualifies
Land principally devoted to timber production. The application asks for the land's use for the current year and up to the previous seven years, until five of seven years of qualifying use is shown; five continuous years may be required inside city limits.
How to apply
File Comptroller Form 50-167 with the chief appraiser of the county appraisal district where the land sits (not with the Comptroller). The 2026 form states it must be filed before May 1 of the year appraisal is requested; some districts also ask for a timber management plan.
