Bill > S1613

This bill aims to support farming on non-contiguous land. It amends Chapter 61A of the General Laws to allow land under the same ownership that is not contiguous, but is within the same municipality or within 10 miles of other portions of land, to be considered as agricultural or horticultural land for property tax purposes. The bill also specifies that the total area of all non-contiguous portions of land must be at least 5 acres and that the land must be utilized together for a unified agricultural, horticultural, or agricultural and horticultural economic purpose. Additionally, the bill amends Section 5 of Chapter 61A to include non-contiguous land in the application process for such tax classification.
