Important Information

Ownership of property in the YO Ranchlands does not automatically make you a member of the YO Ranchlands Exotics Production Co-operative nor does it automatically qualify you for an agricultural or wildlife appraisal.     Membership in the YO Ranchlands Exotics Production Co-operative should qualify your property for agricultural valuation if you follow these instructions.
