Current Agricultural Use Value has increased substantially following the 2024 reappraisal and update, affecting 24 counties that are seeing new tax bills this year.
Why are values increasing, and how do property taxes respond? Join Ohio Farm Bureau for a free webinar Feb. 11 to discuss the recent increases in CAUV values, information to help you understand the property tax system, and an update on legislative action.
“Many property owners saw their property values increase in the most recent round of reappraisals and updates,” said Leah Curtis, associate general counsel for Ohio Farm Bureau, who will be presenting the latest information on CAUV during the upcoming webinar. “CAUV landowners saw their property values double or more in this last reappraisal cycle. While almost unheard of in residential or commercial real estate, increases of this nature have not been uncommon for CAUV in the last 20 years.”
The webinar also will cover an update on the work of the state’s Joint Committee on Property Tax Review and how the committee provided an opportunity for Ohio Farm Bureau to advocate for its members’ policies related to CAUV and property tax reform.
Registration is required to attend the webinar, which runs Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. To register, visit ofb.ag/CAUV2025.
Ohio Farm Bureau’s mission is working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities. Learn more at ohiofarmbureau.org.
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
