Bee Leasing
Do you own 5-20 acres of land and looking for an "Ag Exemption"? We can help! Texas has a reduced tax rate for land owners with 5-20 acres of land who use their land for agricultural purposes and keeping bees qualifies for Ag Exempt status.
​
Depending on the county and how many acres you have determines how many beehives you will need for the Ag Exemption (generally between 5-12 hives). We offer flexible rates with the goal of saving the landowner 50% on their market-value taxes by using our services once the ag exemption takes place.
​
We manage everything about the beehives including treatments and replacing lost hives. The only things we ask are to have about 20 feet of clearance around the hives and the ability to access the location by vehicle.
​
If you do not have a current Ag Exemption, to immediately qualify for the exemption, Texas requires proof of agricultural activity for 5 of the previous 7 years. If the land doesn't meet that requirement, hope is not lost! It just means we can start the process today and we can file once your land becomes eligible. We do offer up to 5-year contracts in these scenarios making your proof for the state of Texas one simple document.
