For buyers, CAUV matters because qualifying agricultural land is taxed on this lower agricultural-use value rather than full market value, which trims the annual carrying cost of holding farmland. The trade-off is recoupment: converting CAUV-enrolled land to a non-agricultural use can recover the tax savings from prior years. These are Ohio property-tax rules, not investment advice, and CAUV eligibility depends on how the land is actually used.
