Four ways to check
Look up your parcel on the county site
Search your county appraisal district website by address or account number and open your parcel. If the ag value applied, the land shows a low agricultural or productivity value next to a higher market value.
Read your Notice of Appraised Value
When your appraisal notice arrives, usually in the spring, it shows how the land was valued for the year. A separate, much lower value for the land is the sign the ag value is in place.
Call the appraisal district if it is unclear
If the account is confusing or nothing has changed, call the district and ask about the status of your application. Have your account number ready. They can tell you whether it was received, approved, or denied.
Watch for a denial notice and its deadline
If the district denies the application, it generally mails a written notice with the reason and a protest deadline. Do not miss that date if you plan to challenge the decision.
