Tired of over paying property taxes? I have a solution for you!

If you own 5 to 20 acres of land in Texas, you are eligible to practice beekeeping and establish a special valuation for raising honey bees .

You don’t have to be a beekeeper to benefit from this exemption. Someone can manage the bees for you.

The Texas code has been updated for small land owners so they can significantly reduce their annual property taxes by raising honey bees. Honey bees make honey, that is an agricultural product for human consumption.

Who does not like fresh, local honey from their back yard or pasture? By the way, your pasture land will increase through pollination and give you a native wildflower meadow.

If you currently have an “Ag Exemption with cattle and you are tired of “pushing cows” on your land, then you can switch anytime to honey bees and reduce the negative impact on the land and maintain your special valuation.
