Present Use Program
Alamance County’s Present Use Program (Farm Use) is operated by our two Farm/PUV Appraisers. They can be contacted at (336) 570-4118.
If you wish to visit, it is best to call and make an appointment to ensure that someone will be available to speak with you. A subsequent field visit may be required to provide all of the pertinent information.
Please remember that the present use taxation program is a voluntary tax relief program for farmers, timber growers, and horticulturists. Land meeting all eligibility requirements may qualify for the program initially, but the landowner’s objectives/intentions dictate whether the property can continue meeting those requirements annually.
PUV Application
Application for classification under the Present Use Value program can be made during the month of January each year. The deadline to receive the application is January 31st (postmarked or in-office). Below you will find a copy of the application to print and fill out.
