Thank you for the detailed explanation. Very helpful info. Some local counties and school boards are now refusing the property tax abatement requests but solar farms are still being built in those counties. So it must be a lucrative business model.

Interestingly, our local county appraisal district thought that because the tax abatements had been approved that they did not have to assess the 3 years of rollback taxes. Which is clearly not the case. With several of the retired appraisal district employees now doing tax consulting in the same county, I have to wonder…

Reviving this thread for personal interest.

I've got a couple hundred acre parcel in Jack County that has been leased by a solar developer on all sides. Although I would've preferred differently, now that I'm boxed in, it seems that I'm not left with much choice but to lease. The developer has indicated a willingness to lease me at comparable terms, but seems to be dragging their feet. What is their motivation to acquire the last few hundred acres in a 10,000+ acre position? Do I have any leverage I can utilize to make sure I'm included, or am I at their mercy now?
