Bill Summary
This bill extends the expiration date of the special appraisal process provided by law for State-funded land acquisitions under the Green Acres program and the farmland preservation program from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2029 for lands located in the Highlands Region. The term "special appraisal process" refers to the process in which the State or other eligible participants are currently required by law to conduct two appraisals of lands that are proposed for acquisition, one of which is based on the property value on the proposed acquisition date, the other based on the value of the property as of January 1, 2004. The higher of the two values is used as the basis of negotiation with the landowner when determining the property's final acquisition price.
AI Summary
This bill extends the expiration date of a special appraisal process used for state-funded land acquisitions under the Green Acres program (which funds recreation and conservation projects) and the farmland preservation program. This special appraisal process, which requires two appraisals of land value—one based on the current market value and another based on the value as of January 1, 2004, with the higher value used for negotiation—will now remain in effect until June 30, 2029, for lands located in the Highlands Region, an area with specific environmental protections. Previously, this process was set to expire on June 30, 2024.
