Agricultural Valuation (Ag Exemption) in San Saba County
San Saba County has 6,112 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 San Saba County
San Saba County has 69 oil & gas wells on record with the Railroad Commission of Texas — minimal oil-and-gas activity (#217 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.
Non-Native & Exotic Wildlife in San Saba County
Free-ranging exotics have been recorded in San Saba County: Axis deer (chital), Aoudad (Barbary sheep), and Blackbuck. These are citizen-science observations — they indicate presence, not population, and may include high-fenced animals, so absence of records is not proof a species is absent. For hunters, it places San Saba County within established exotic range.
