description: <div style='text-align:Left;font-size:12pt'><div><div><p><span>The Current Agricultural Use Valuation (CAUV) program is an incentive offered to property owners of farmland in the state of Ohio. Under the Ohio Revised Code, owners of land devoted exclusively to agricultural use can apply to be taxed based on the current agricultural use instead of the market value. Through this method, agricultural land owners with parcels enrolled in the CAUV program usually receive a lower tax bill.</span></p><p><span /></p><p><span>Only land meeting specific qualifications may receive the reduced taxable value. Qualifying land is subject to a three-year waiting period, during which time, it must be utilized exclusively for agricultural use. Home sites and outbuildings not used for agricultural use are still valued at fair market value.</span></p><p><span /></p><p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'><span><span>For property tax purposes, farmland devoted exclusively to commercial agriculture may be valued according to its current use rather than at its "highest and best" potential use. This provision of Ohio law is known as the Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) program. By permitting values to be set well below true market values, the CAUV normally results in a substantially lower tax bill for working farmers.</span></span></p><p><p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'><span><span>Land is devoted to agricultural production when it is used for commercial apiculture, animal husbandry, poultry husbandry; the production for commercial purposes of field crops, tobacco, fruits, vegetables, timber, nursery stock, ornamental shrubs and trees, flowers or sod; or any combination of such husbandry or production.
