In Coshocton County, Ohio, farmland enrolled in the Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) program is assessed at an average of $1,047 per acre for tax year 2025 — while the county auditor's appraised market value for those same parcels averages $5,975 per acre. That gap of $4,928 per acre means the CAUV figure comes to just 17.5% of appraised market value. Keep in mind that 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 full market value, which lowers 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.
