Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends Florida Statutes section 193.461 to provide a tax exemption for agricultural improvements located on lands classified as agricultural lands. Specifically, the bill prohibits the assessment of any agricultural improvements that are used for agricultural purposes on such lands. This means that farmers and agricultural property owners will not have to pay additional property taxes on structures or improvements that are directly related to agricultural activities. The changes will first be applied to the 2026 ad valorem (property) tax roll, and the bill will take effect on July 1, 2025. The purpose of this legislation appears to be to provide financial relief and support to agricultural landowners by reducing their tax burden on agricultural infrastructure and improvements.
