Wildlife Management

What is Wildlife Management?

Wildlife management is the systematic and deliberate approach to protecting, preserving, and effectively utilizing wildlife and their habitats.  

Our Wildlife Management Plans take into account ecological factors and human needs in order to ensure the long-term well-being of both.

How Can Wildlife Reduce Property Taxes?

Landowners can receive a 1-d-1 Open Space Agricultural Valuation based on wildlife management use rather than other Traditional Ag uses by implementing an approved Wildlife Management Plan and meeting specific criteria set by the County.  However, not all land will initially qualify for a wildlife management Ag Valuation.

Unlike Traditional Ag, the cost of our Wildlife Management Plan is fixed and known every year, with your tax savings guaranteed.

How Much Are The Savings?

Generally speaking, Wildlife Management Ag Valuations amount to 0.2% - 0.5% of the land's market value. This results in tax savings from $1,000s to $10,000+ depending on the land's size and taxing jurisdiction.

We can file your Wildlife Management Plan with the County each year to ensure you receive an Ag Valuation.
