As much as I like individual Mormons I’ve known, am I the only one this seems a bit cultish to? If it’s church owned, is it tax-free?
Yes, tax-free.
Also, many retired Mormons come at their own expense to work this and other Lds ranches...(Lds owns other similar ag ranches in states like Idaho and Washington). So yes, this ranch has employees...but notice it has less than 100 for a 300,000 acre ranch.
(And, of course, Lds, Inc. is a cult)

Yes tax-free, and yes this ranch takes full advantage of it’s tax free status in unincorporated Orange and Volusia county.
What I especially love is the toll road (528) running through the heart of their community has an exit for their residential neighborhoods that is EZPass ONLY, meaning no toll booth attendant, no coin receptacles, and no way to legally exit the highway without a prepaid EZPass transformer.
And their local LEO sit right at the exit ramp all day and tail any out of area cars that exit there.
Got pulled over twice in the same spot on this exit... the ranch allows hiking on one corner of their property as a right of way for a larger trail system, and there is supposedly legal parking at a trailhead, however, it is “highly frowned upon son for outsiders to come here snooping around”. I was living less than 10 miles from there at the time too.
The area is a beautiful hike in the dry season though.
