🚨 IMPORTANT NOTICE: AGRICULTURAL EXEMPTION ID RENEWAL
If you have a Kentucky Agricultural Exemption (AE) Number, please make sure you renew it before December 31, 2026.
All current AE numbers are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026.
Beginning January 1, 2027, we will NOT accept expired Agricultural Exemption IDs. If your ID has not been renewed, sales tax will be charged on qualifying purchases until a valid exemption is provided.
Watch for your PIN letter from the Kentucky Department of Revenue.
Use the PIN to complete your renewal through the Kentucky MyTaxes system.
PINs typically expire 60 days after the date on the letter, so don’t wait to renew.
Please take care of your renewal ahead of time to avoid any issues in January!
Already renewed? Make sure we have your updated exemption information on file.
How to Renew Your Kentucky Agricultural Tax Exemption

Kentucky Department of Revenue is mailing PIN letters in batches.
They are being sent alphabetically, so don’t worry if someone else gets theirs first.
Your PIN typically expires 60 days after the date on the letter.
Go to Kentucky’s MyTaxes system
Log into your existing MyTaxes account or create one if you don’t already have one.
Link your Agricultural Exemption
Choose “Agricultural Exemption ID” as the account type.
Enter the PIN from your letter to link your exemption to your MyTaxes account.
Complete the online renewal
Follow the prompts in MyTaxes and submit your renewal.
Save your renewed exemption information with your farm/business records.
Give the required updated information to vendors when making qualifying tax-exempt purchases.
Renew before December 31, 2026

After renewal, the exemption will generally be valid for 4 years.
