Should we Eliminate the Agricultural Tax Exemption
Posted on 4/3/24 at 2:23 pm

In major populated states such as Florida, there is a shortage of housing. The majority of the state land is owned and maintained by farmers who through the agricultural tax exemption horde large swaths of land and refuse to sell. Because of this, developers and builders have to overpay for land. This causes a shortage in home inventory and an overall price increase for first time home buyers.
If we eliminate the agricultural tax exemption, it would cause farmers to either sell their land or pay the true cost of the tax in their county. Overall I think this would benefit the majority of people instead of a small group of wealthy land-owning farmers.

If your answer to anything is ever "we need to tax more," you are wrong.

How do you fricking liberals not understand every time you “raise the taxes on the rich”, the rich just charge us more?

Pay the farmer a fair wage to sell.
Interesting how the could buy the land they didnt want and overspend on that but they couldnt overspend on the farmers land that they really wanted?
The problem is Mr. Banker thinks he is smarter than the Farmer. If the farmer has no debt the banker can gladly go frick himself into oblivion. Thats the farmers land until the farmer does not want it to be anymore. Pay the man.

Are they really running out of land in Florida??
The ag exemption should go away just like all exemptions should go away. Charge a low tax for everyone.

These threads are always fun for me because i get to watch people support tax subsidization for things they like but then later argue against it for things they don't like.

Frick off...I enjoy my ag exemption It's absolutely necessary because I have to plant corn, but for some strange reason, I always bush hog it instead of harvesting it.

How about we let the government take all of your property, redistribute your wealth, and eliminate all of your tax breaks?
All in favor, say Aye.

You want your homes to cost more, remove AE for the pine that I grow and insure against loss.
Go ahead, I'll charge more.

Yea, frick all that. I build for a living and I can tell you, i much rather see farmland than some bullshite DR Horton development.
In my area the large landowners are farmers as well and the are slowly selling out. It’s a Dr Horton wasteland now .

Abolishing the Ag exemption in Texas would crush the value of land.

Either get rid of it or extend it to everyone who owns undeveloped land, regardless of zoning.

The OP is one of those who thinks we don't need farmers or agriculture because everyone just goes to the grocery store for stuff like that.

What the frick is wrong with you? Are you retarded?

Horde? frick you.
I see farms forced to sell land to pay tax bills around me now.
I’d rather people move to where there is housing. I’m sick of places we own property being overrun.
