What to keep for Kimble County
Whether or not Kimble County asks for a report this year, keep dated proof that you carried out at least three of the seven wildlife management practices in your plan:
- A log of each activity: the date, what you did, where and how much
- Dated photos of the work (feeders, water, brush piles, cleared brush)
- Receipts and invoices for feed, seed, materials and contractors
- Census sheets with dates, routes and numbers seen
Read our plain-English guide to the annual report (PWD-888) for the full 3-of-7 rule, or see deadlines for other counties.
Ag valuation in Kimble County
Running cattle, cutting hay or farming instead of managing for wildlife? These are the Kimble Central Appraisal District’s published degree-of-intensity standards for the 1-d-1 agricultural valuation.
The district posts only beekeeping standards and a wildlife policy online; it does not post minimum acreage, herd size or stocking rates for grazing. Call (325) 446-3717 for those.
| Beekeeping | 5–20 acres. The district's table reads: first 5 acres 1 hive; 5.1–10 acres at least 2 hives; 10.1–15 acres at least 3; 15.1–20 acres at least 4. Confirm with the district, since the same page cites the 6-colony apiary definition. |
|---|---|
| History and filing | Beekeepers must show ag/beekeeping history for 5 of the preceding 7 years, for example with Texas Apiary Inspection Service permits. |

An animal unit is one cow (or cow-calf pair); a horse counts as one, and about five goats or sheep make one, though some districts count them differently. See what Texas requires for ag valuation. Your appraisal district has the final say, so call them if anything here doesn’t match your letter.
