A: In the United States, laws regarding family cemeteries and property exemptions can vary by state and local jurisdiction. Generally, some states have laws that allow for the establishment of family cemeteries on private property, and these cemeteries may be exempt from certain regulations or taxes. However, the specifics of the exemption and requirements can differ, so it's essential to consult with a local attorney or research your state's laws and regulations to determine if your 15-acre property would qualify for a family cemetery exemption in Montgomery County, Texas.
