Clermont County, Ohio — for tax year 2025, farmland enrolled in Ohio's Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) program is assessed for property tax at an average of $1,833 per acre, compared with the county auditor's appraised market value of $4,692 per acre for those same enrolled parcels — a gap of $2,859 per acre. That CAUV figure works out to 39.1% of the appraised market value on the same parcels. CAUV is an income-based tax assessment, not a market price, and it does not estimate what any specific parcel would sell for.

For buyers, CAUV matters because qualifying agricultural land is taxed on this lower agricultural-use value rather than on full market value, which reduces 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. The figures here cover 139,750 enrolled acres across 5,580 parcels and are county-level survey averages, not appraisals of any single property.
