Bill > H2643

This bill clarifies property tax statutes related to recreational, horticultural, and agricultural land by amending existing laws. Specifically, it removes the requirement for "forest certification" and instead allows for tax benefits on land used for agricultural or horticultural purposes under chapter 61A, and for recreational purposes under chapter 61B. The bill also updates provisions regarding land assignments, requiring that at least 70% of the land be maintained for agricultural, horticultural, forest, or recreational use, and that any development is limited to what was originally proposed, with the remaining land subject to a permanent deed restriction.
