- Agricultural Land Classification Guide
This is a general guide pertaining to agricultural land classification to help citizens understand some of the complexities of this subject. It is not the opinion of the assessor with respect to any particular property and cannot be cited as authority for reclassification of land.
Classification of land as "agricultural land" is done on a case-by-case basis applying the Colorado Constitution, Colorado Revised Statutes and relevant court cases. See the information on House Bill 11-1146.
In order for the assessor to classify a property as "agricultural land," the property must qualify under Colorado law, which states the owner must submit documentation of such qualification to the assessor's office, and the land must show signs of agricultural use when physically inspected.
There are many ways for land to be qualified as "agricultural land," including use as a farm, a ranch, for the production of timber or non-use of the land because of conservation easements.
