Inheriting land in Bell County—whether it's a few acres near Lake Belton or a lot in growing Temple—is a great asset, but it's harder to liquidate than a house. With Temple's industrial boom (including the recent 950-acre annexation for industrial use), land values are shifting.
Temple is experiencing unprecedented growth. The city's recent annexation of 950 acres specifically for industrial development signals major changes ahead.

If the land has an agricultural exemption and you sell to a developer or someone who changes the use, the county can trigger Rollback Taxes.
