Marion County Auditor Joan Kasotis announced that Friday, March 4, 2016 at 4:30 P.M. is the deadline to file initial and renewal applications for Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV).
The CAUV program allows farmland devoted exclusively to commercial agriculture to be valued based on the agricultural use of the land rather than its “highest and best” potential use, resulting in a substantially lower tax bill for working farmers. Any Ohio property owner currently engaged in commercial agriculture may qualify for the program.
Ohio Revised Code states that all initial application for CAUV must be filed prior to the first Monday in March.
