What documentation is required to validate the use and production?

Examples of acceptable documentation for production qualifying are: 

  1. Profit or Loss from Farming Form (1040F)
  2. Farm Rental Income/Loss Form (4835)
  3. Supplemental Income/Loss Form (1040E)
  4. Business Profit and Loss Form (1040C)
  5. Farm Sale Receipts

The property owner is responsible for providing documentation on the use of the property at the time of renewal. Incomplete applications/renewals will not be accepted and could result in the property being removed from land use assessment and roll back taxes being assessed. 

*If a landowner does not have any of the above documentation, please contact the Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office and speak with one of the Tax Exemptions and Deferral Specialists.
