ST. CLAIRSVILLE Qualified landowners in Belmont County enjoy a reduction in real estate taxes thanks to the Current Agricultural Use Valuation (CAUV) program.
CAUV was established after the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation campaigned to have farmland taxed for its agricultural value, rather than its market value.
Belmont County Auditor Cindi Henry is committed to making the CAUV program more accessible to eligible landowners.
“We are rearranging the auditor’s office to facilitate space for the CAUV program,” Henry said. Informational brochures and CAUV enrollment forms will be available there.
“Larry Craig, deputy auditor and CAUV coordinator, will also be available to administer and answer questions about the program for eligible farmers and landowners,” she said.
