Definition
Farmland is land actively used for crops, livestock, or other agricultural operations. It's not just rural land—it's productive land with specific characteristics and values. Here's the interesting part: farmland often qualifies for preferential property tax treatment, which can make it a smart investment if you're willing to farm it or lease it for farming.

Farmland represents land actively used or suitable for agricultural purposes. It may qualify for agricultural exemptions and tax benefits, but has different development potential than residential land.
Pro Tip
If you own farmland, investigate whether it qualifies for agricultural exemptions. These can dramatically reduce tax bills. But understand the restrictions—you typically need to actually farm the land to maintain the exemption.
Example
A 50-acre property with productive soil suitable for crop farming.
