Practices that fit this land

Texas wildlife valuation needs at least 3 of the 7 practices each year. Based on the soils and ecoregion, these are good places to start:

Before you apply

Wildlife valuation is for land that already has an agricultural (1-d-1) valuation. You switch it over by filing a wildlife management plan with your appraisal district. See converting ag to wildlife.
If your tract was split off from a bigger one, a minimum size may apply. See minimum acreage when land is split.
Want to know what it's worth? Try the savings calculator.
Keeping it in ag instead (cattle, hay, crops or bees)? See what your county expects for ag valuation. Habitat Ledger's Ag mode checks your head count and acres against it.

Turn this into a wildlife plan

The plan starter fills in your county, ecoregion, acres and soils, helps you pick your practices with the TPWD minimums for your region, and prints a draft plan you can finish with your biologist or appraisal district.

This check is an estimate to help you plan. It is not a survey, a soil test or an appraisal, and it doesn't show your exact property lines unless you trace them. Soil data: USDA NRCS Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO). County: FCC Census Area API. Map imagery: Esri. Address search: OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Your appraisal district decides whether your land qualifies.
