b. Agricultural Districts

Land that is in agricultural production has the ability to be included in an agricultural district in Ohio.   Agricultural districts provide farmers protection against nuisance suits over farm operations, deferment of tax assessments on land to build sewer and water lines, and allow for additional review if land is taken by eminent domain for a public purpose.  Agricultural districts are established by the individual landowner filing an application to the county auditor.  The figure below lists the approximate acreage of agricultural districts in the Darby Watershed as collected in 2001-02.
