Read MoreCAUV
Current Agricultural Use Value, or CAUV, is a program where farmland is taxed at a rate that reflects its value for agricultural purposes instead of its value as development property. It was enacted by Ohio voters in 1973 as a means to preserve farmland. In 2014, Ohio Farm Bureau began working to reform how CAUV is calculated, resulting in major reforms enacted in June 2017. Based on preliminary estimates by the Ohio Department of Taxation, CAUV values for the 2025 reappraisal/update year will likely increase about 50% on average. See our FAQ for more details.
