What the Coleman County Appraisal District looks for

Beekeeping guidelines are set by the Coleman County Appraisal District. We match your hive count and records to the current Coleman County guidelines, taking your acreage, property history and active management into account.

Confirm details directly with the district. Your land must meet its requirements for 1-d-1 open-space agricultural valuation; placing hives alone does not guarantee approval.
