Ag Exemption with Honey Bees

Do you own 5–20 acres in Travis County, Williamson County, or Hays County? Your property may qualify for a Texas agricultural valuation, commonly called an “Ag Exemption,” through managed honeybee hives.

Why Use Honeybees for an Ag Exemption?

Honeybees have become one of the most popular agricultural exemption options for smaller acreage properties in Texas. Compared to cattle or other livestock, honeybee hives require less space, less infrastructure, and minimal impact on your property.

Benefits of a honeybee ag valuation may include:

• Potential reduction in property taxes

• Qualification for agricultural valuation on smaller acreage

• Professional hive management included

• Support for native pollinators and local ecosystems

• Low-maintenance agricultural use for rural landowners

Texas counties typically require:
