CAUV 202 takes a deeper dive into how tax bills are formulated and what exactly goes into the Current Agricultural Use Value numbers.
Editor’s Note: This information is from 2024.
A new statewide webinar, CAUV 202, featuring Ohio Farm Bureau Policy Counsel Leah Curtis, took a deeper dive into how tax bills are formulated and what exactly goes into the Current Agricultural Use Value numbers.
CAUV 202 was a follow up to a webinar that was presented earlier in 2024 by Ohio Farm Bureau to explain how CAUV has increased substantially following the 2023 reappraisal and update, affecting 41 counties that have seen new tax bills this year.
Through the year, the organization has focused on CAUV, how it works, how it continues to save serious dollars for farms of all types and sizes, and some changes to the program that are being sought out by Ohio Farm Bureau members. In fact, the entire July/August 2024 issue of Our Ohio magazine is themed around CAUV.
