Ag Exemption Information - Forms Needed For an Ag Valuation For Your Property

You will need to contact your county’s appraisal district, specifically to ask about a 1-D-1 Agricultural Appraisal. From there, you should be able to get the ball rolling. But remember, this process takes 5 years to complete.

The Texas Form 50-129 Application for 1-d-1 Ag Use is the same for Hays, Travis, Caldwell or Blanco County, and can be downloaded from any of their CAD websites, or can be downloaded directly from the Texas State Comptroller’s site:

Though the form is the same for all counties, you will need to submit Form 50-129 to your local appraisal district, not the Texas Comptroller.
