How much farmland may I claim as my homestead?

If the gross receipts from the farming are greater than your total household resources, you may claim all of your taxes on unoccupied farmland classified as agricultural. Do not include taxes on farmland that is not adjacent or contiguous to your home or that you rent or lease to another person.

If gross receipts from farming are less than your household income and you have lived in your home more than ten years, you may claim the taxes on your home and the farmland adjacent and contiguous to your home.

If gross receipts from farming are less than your household income and you have lived in your home less than ten years, you may claim taxes on your home and five acres of farmland adjacent and contiguous to your home.
