On May 26, 2026, the board's agenda carried separate listings for family farm/LLC approvals and denials. Minutes from that meeting show the board approved CUVA applications for some Family Farms, LLC's and LP's properties on appraisal staff's recommendation, and separately voted to deny CUVA applications for other Family Farms, LLC's and LP's properties on the county attorney's recommendation.
