The neighbor to the property I hunt in Huntington County has 2.88 acres and he has signs up for Classified Forest. Can't be more than an acre of woods on his place.
Likely a misplaced sign. They seem to be firm on the minimum 10 acres.

It is. I cannot join it to my larger parcel due to it being separated by a road. Only 1 acre of my other 11 is taxed residential, the rest is ag.Is that 1.7 acres its own parcel taxed separately?
That sounds correct, you just need 1 acre of residential for your homestead.It is. I cannot join it to my larger parcel due to it being separated by a road. Only 1 acre of my other 11 is taxed residential, the rest is ag.
I looked into it and it's clearly outlined that they will not join parcels separated by a road, at least not in this county.That sounds correct, you just need 1 acre of residential for your homestead.
I've been looking at bigger properties the last few weeks, they all have land on both sides of a road, including my current property. The road shouldn't stop you.
The tax amount is what is important. Just spitballing here can you put any agriculture on it? Got any friends that are bee keepers? I think that may be enough to get the exemption…I looked into it and it's clearly outlined that they will not join parcels separated by a road, at least not in this county.
I would tend to go with that taxes are accessed at what you just paid for that property. It might be a fight to have them lowered.Unfortunately this is Hamilton Co where $40k/acre is a steal in some places. I'm hopeful that I'll find someone helpful when I go in and common sense will prevail. If I were confident I'd have gone in there already.
They are taxing him for a more expensive classification that doubles or triples his tax liability.I would tend to go with that taxes are accessed at what you just paid for that property. It might be a fight to have them lowered.
The county has it assessed at $39k as a residential lot. If they won't rezone it to flood plain I don't think they're going to lower their assessed value 65% to what I paid for it either, not without a fight anyway. I don't have money for an attorney and I'll end up in jail if I encounter unreasonable people so I'm just waiting.I would tend to go with that taxes are accessed at what you just paid for that property.

Thinking outside the box...

I fought property taxes on a home I own in Madison co a few years ago. It was at the meeting the county sets up for citizens to do so, after the new assessments come out.The county has it assessed at $39k as a residential lot.

I would also spend some time looking at local comparable property's and see what they are paying in taxes.
If your getting broken over go to the next available time that you can argue your tax bill with the county. Bring good pictures.
No, it doesn't.I have family that is in this program. Many years later they truly regret it. It really limits what you can do to your land.
