In Lake Butler and surrounding Union County, owning land doesn't automatically lower your taxes—you must apply for an Agricultural Classification. To qualify for the "Greenbelt" status in 2026, you must demonstrate that the land is used for a bona fide commercial agricultural purpose, such as timber, livestock, or crops, as of January 1st. The Rule: You must file your application (Form DR-482) with the Union County Property Appraiser by March 1st. The Perk: This can significantly reduce your property tax bill by assessing the land based on its "use value" rather than its "market value." Keep in mind that your primary residence and at least one surrounding acre (the "homesite") will still be taxed at standard market rates.
