Definition: Florida's agricultural-classification rules allow qualifying land to be assessed according to agricultural use rather than simply its development potential. Qualification depends on bona fide commercial agricultural use and statutory requirements.
Example
A working farm applies to the county property appraiser for agricultural classification.
Keep the distinction clear
Agricultural zoning alone does not qualify land, and the classification is not a complete tax exemption. The appraiser evaluates actual use and the applicable criteria.
