Ag exemption

[JethroB]

OP 1930, On sales taxes you have already paid, or formally called Sales & Use Tax, you should be able to request a refund from the retailer/dealer with proper documentation, exemption status, and receipts, There may be a limit to how far you can go back (2-3 years?).

They count your driveway and the land the house sits on, I loose 1 acre for the homestead. Tax exempt for things like tractors you fill out a form at the dealer, for other stuff you need get tax exempt certificate and file annually, on your taxes you run it like any other business, there used to be a special class number for timber farming but now it is form F and fill in Timber farm.

I did find this out today, as you said when I build they will associate 1 acre of land as no longer greenbelt ( so you homestead instead that single acre ) but the rest is still at a reduced rate assuming you are still practicing agriculture which I have every intention of doing.

I appreciate most of the comments. Thanks

Still re searching but yes there are all types of exemptions I can participate in and some are listed here. Maybe someone will find this useful Agricultural Sales Tax Exemptions in Florida | Florida Farm Bureau

Some products that you purchase are dependent on their end use. For example, if I buy some steel beams, if they are for a new building, it is not exempt, if it is for maintenance or safety of existing structures, then it is exempt from sales tax. Check with your tax officials.
