Florida Greenbelt Agricultural Tax Assessment

How to Apply for a Florida Greenbelt Agricultural Tax Assessment

This EDIS publication is for current or potential farm operators who are interested in knowing more about how the Florida Greenbelt Law affects farm operations’ property taxes and how farm operations can apply to receive an agricultural tax assessment.

A variety of factors can affect your farm’s profitability. One way to potentially reduce your annual property tax costs is by getting an agricultural tax assessment, which is also referred to as an “agricultural exemption” or “greenbelt law protection,” or just “greenbelt.”

Having greenbelt for your farm means that you pay a lower amount of taxes because you have been formally recognized as using your land for agricultural purposes.
