filed on or before March 1 of each year. The property appraiser, before so classifying such lands, may
require the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s representative to furnish the property appraiser such information
as may reasonably be required to establish that such lands were actually used for a bona fide
agricultural purpose.
Notice regarding citrus: All citrus lands must be registered with the Florida Department of Agriculture
Citrus health response Program (CHRP) and a certificate must be submitted with this application. For
the protection of Florida's Citrus Farmers and the Florida Citrus Industry, lands may not qualify for an
agricultural classification for a non-citrus use while live non-maintained citrus trees are present.

market value; referred to as a homesite; and may be eligible for homestead exemption per F.S. Chapter
196.
