Bill > H2580

This bill proposes to amend Section 5 of Chapter 59 of the General Laws by adding new exemptions to property taxation for certain agricultural assets. Specifically, it would exempt greenhouses made of glass or plastic used for farming or agriculture, new buildings and structures on farmland that receive an occupancy permit from a city or town for ten years, silos and feed storage units used for farming, and all real and personal property associated with milk production by a farmer. These changes aim to support agricultural production and profitability by reducing the tax burden on these essential farming elements, with "farming or agriculture" being defined in Section 1A of Chapter 128.
