Will my county appraisal district accept this plan?
Our plans satisfy the requirements of Tex. Tax Code Section 23.521. They are built from the same TPWD species data and 34 TAC Section 9.2002 ecoregion standards that chief appraisers reference when evaluating wildlife management plans. Thousands of Texas landowners use wildlife management valuation. We recommend contacting your CAD to confirm their submission process.
Do I need a biologist to prepare my plan?
Texas law does not require a biologist. The statute requires a wildlife management plan that demonstrates active management using at least 3 of 7 specified practices. Our plans use authoritative TPWD species occurrence data, NRCS soil surveys, and ecoregion-specific intensity standards to meet these requirements.
How long does it take to receive my plan?
Plans are delivered same day. After you complete the guided assessment and payment, your complete deliverable package is generated and delivered to your email.
What if I still have cattle on my property?
You can transition from agricultural to wildlife management valuation while maintaining some agricultural activity. The key requirement is that wildlife management becomes the primary use of the land. Your plan documents the specific management practices you will implement. We recommend discussing timing with your county appraisal district.
Can I switch back to agricultural valuation later?
Yes. Wildlife management is a qualifying agricultural use under Texas law. You can switch between agricultural and wildlife management valuation. There is no penalty for changing, though your CAD may require documentation of the new use.
What is included in the deliverable package?
Every plan includes: a 47-page wildlife management plan PDF, a pre-filled PWD-885 application form, an interactive property map with terrain and species layers, a companion field guide with seasonal management schedules, a species intelligence report, and editable Word and Excel exports.
