Bill Summary
Relative to non-contiguous farm land. Revenue.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 4 of Chapter 61A of the Massachusetts General Laws to allow owners of non-contiguous farmland to apply for the benefits of the Farmland Assessment Act, provided that the total acreage of the non-contiguous parcels is at least 5 acres and the parcels are within a 10-mile radius of each other or within the same municipality. This change gives owners of non-contiguous farmland the same rights and benefits as those with contiguous farmland under the Farmland Assessment Act.
