Agricultural Valuation (Ag Exemption) in Hardeman County
Hardeman County has 2,651 parcels carrying a 1-d-1 agricultural valuation in our data. An ag valuation can cut a property’s taxable value sharply — but it does not transfer to a new owner automatically, and if the land’s use changes, Texas can recapture up to three years of the tax savings plus interest (the “rollback” tax, Tax Code §23.55). Confirm the current ag status and any rollback exposure on a specific tract before you buy.

Oil & Gas Activity in Hardeman County
Hardeman County has 1,627 oil & gas wells on record with the Railroad Commission of Texas — a relatively light level of oil-and-gas activity (#148 of 254 counties). Light oil-and-gas development generally means a cleaner surface and a simpler mineral picture, though you should still verify mineral ownership on any tract.
Counts are approximate, drawn from public RRC records, and include active and plugged wells. Not a substitute for a title or mineral search.
