All Kentucky Ag Tax Exempt numbers will expire December 31st, 2026.
All must re-apply.

News regarding Agriculture Tax Exemption status renewal from the Kentucky Department of Revenue:

The Kentucky Department of Revenue will begin the agricultural exemption license number renewal process on July 1, 2026, in order for all exemption holders to have sufficient time to complete the renewal process before the December 31, 2026, expiration date.

What to Expect
The renewal process will be completed online, and we anticipate the renewal portal will open on July 1, 2026, at MyTaxes.ky.gov.
You will receive a separate letter via USPS mail that includes your Personal Identification Number (PIN) and instructions for completing your renewal.

Beginning the last week of June, PIN letters will be mailed in limited batches in alphabetical order to spread out renewals across several months and avoid processing backlogs. All letters will arrive with sufficient time to complete your renewal before the expiration date, so please begin the renewal process as soon as your letter arrives.

To renew, you will need to create a MyTaxes user account by following the steps in the user guide. Once your account is created, you can use your PIN to access the online renewal process.

Follow the instructions in your PIN letter to link your Agricultural Exemption ID. Under Account Type, select Agricultural Exemption ID, then enter your PIN.

Your current agricultural exemption license number authorization remains valid through December 31, 2026.

Check Your Mailing Address
To ensure you receive your PIN letter without delay, please confirm that your current mailing address is on file with the Department of Revenue.

You may verify your address in the MyTaxes online portal, or by calling 502-564-5170 for assistance.

We appreciate your attention, and we look forward to supporting your renewal process.

A heartfelt thanks to the Kentucky Association of Conservation Districts - KACD for naming the Carter Co. Soil Conservation District as the East Outstanding Conservation District. Huge appreciation to the Carter County Fiscal Court for funding and supporting our work, allowing us to serve our community—from landowners to kids. We’re also incredibly grateful to all the volunteers who make events like the Art & Essay Contest/Banquet, 4th Grade Field Day, Farm & Family Field Day (co-hosted with the Carter Co. Extension Office), the tree giveaway, and more possible each year. It truly takes a village, and we’re thankful for every single one of you.
