Texas Tax Exemptions for Agriculture and Timber Industries

Now Available
Texas Agricultural and Timber Exemption Number Online Application
Beginning Jan. 1, 2012, a person claiming an exemption from sales tax on the purchase of certain items used in the production of agricultural and timber products is required to have a Texas Agriculture and Timber Exemption Registration Number (Ag/Timber Number).
The Comptroller's office is pleased to announce the availability of the new online application for a registration number at www.getreadytexas.org. When you apply online, you will get your number at the completion of the application. You will be able to print your confirmation letter and a copy of your application. A copy of your confirmation letter will be mailed to you for your records.
Along with the online application there is an online search available on www.getreadytexas.org. With this search you will be able to check the status of your Ag/Timber number. Please allow one day processing time before you search for your Ag/Timber number to allow our system to update.
The site also provides links to other valuable Ag/Timber resources.
