Every farm's land-tax (räntan or jordeboksskatten in Swedish) was reserved (indelt) for a specific purpose. Some farms were so called rusthåll, that payed for a commom cavalryman (and in some cases in south-eastern Sweden a boatsman in the navy). Others were hästehemman, that payed for a cavalry officers horse. And the land-tax from other farms was used for other purposes in the military and the Civil Service. This goes for both privately owned farms (skatte) and farms owned by the Crown (krono). And then some krono farms were used as residence (boställe) for military officers and civil servants.

The rent that a farmer payed for renting a farm owned by the Crown is not a tax. However it is recorded in the same tax record (jordebok) as the land-tax, and therefore included in the total sum that was paid for that farm.
