How the Ag Exemption Works on a Home
The "ag exemption" is a special appraisal, usually called 1-d-1 open-space or agricultural valuation. The appraisal district values the land in agricultural use on what it can produce rather than what it would sell for.
- The house is taxed at market value. The home and the homesite around it do not get ag valuation. You can still claim a homestead exemption on them if it is your primary residence.
- The rest of the land must stay in agricultural use, such as grazing livestock, hay production or beekeeping, at a level typical for the area. Many owners lease the land to a local rancher for grazing.
- Wildlife management valuation is an option for land that already has ag valuation, using at least three of seven approved wildlife practices.
- Rollback taxes apply if the land leaves agricultural use: the tax difference for the previous three years, plus 5% annual interest.
Questions to Ask Before You Buy
- What type of agricultural use is on file, and is there a grazing or hay lease in place?
- How many acres carry ag valuation, and how is the homesite split out?
- Which appraisal district handles the property? Most of 78006 is in Kendall County, and 78015 includes parts of Kendall, Bexar and Comal counties.
- Do the deed restrictions allow the livestock you need to keep the valuation?
- Will you need to file a new application after closing? Applications are generally due by April 30.
- Well, septic, fencing and access: the usual acreage checklist still applies.
Ag Exempt Homes FAQ
How many ag exempt homes are for sale in Boerne?
As of November 2026, about 7 homes in the Boerne ZIP codes 78006 and 78015 are listed on ag exempt land, from about $1.4 million to about $9.9 million.
Is the house on ag exempt land taxed at a lower value?
No. The home and its homesite are appraised at market value. Only the land in qualifying agricultural use gets the lower ag valuation. A homestead exemption can still apply to the house if it is your primary residence.
Do I have to raise livestock to keep the ag exemption?
The land has to stay in a qualifying agricultural use, which can include grazing, hay or beekeeping. Many owners lease the land to a rancher. Land that already has ag valuation can also convert to wildlife management valuation.
