re: Looking for moving advice

One important piece of advice I will give you is up your land requirement to at least 10 acres. That will qualify you for a conservation exemption on your property taxes; it has to be renewed every 10 years (a formality to be honest) and will lower your taxes by at least a third.

There's ways around that now, it's a little more complicated but definitely worth the effort if you find a tract you love thats a little under 10 acres or you don't mind jumping through a few hoops to save $ on not buying extra land.

Owners of a tract, lot, or parcel of land that totals less than ten acres will be required by the county tax assessor to submit additional relevant records to prove bona fide conservation use.
