In columbiana we have a total of 19 acres, all but one acre for the main house is woodland cauv now. About 9 years ago we cleared an acre and a half and built another house on the cauv land. They never took that land out of cauv and we have had two assessments since the home was built. It was never surveyed or divided off in any way but it has it's own address. I do think they will pay more attention to drill pads and remove whatever land it is on out of the cauv.
I hope anyone that has cauv and enough land for a pad has that wording in their lease that the oil co. has to pay back the new tax base for the pad site.

I'm not a farmer and was wondering what cauv stands for?

Hi John.  CAUV stands for Current Agricultural Use Value.

We recently experienced a crazy mishap with a land agent who offered us a contract that offered a bonus of $32,500/ acre.  He said, "We all know that I meant $3,250 an acre--so don't worry, my company will change it."  The land agent also came with a nary agent who was equipped with antiquated tools.  We have a digital scanner-copier at the house and offered to copy the document with initialed amendments.  The land agent refused to let us copy the doucment.  The lease was torn up.  Is this happening everywhere?  Are land agents making lease arrangements with land owners without giving you a copy of the original document?

Only for Landowners gullible enough to let it happen.

But if the property is earning bonus money, royalty money or especailly delayed rental money, wouldn't you be able to deduct expenses for the land?
