Bill Summary
Relative to the value agricultural and horticultural land for tax purposes. Revenue.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 61A of the General Laws to expand the definition of agricultural and horticultural land that can be valued for tax purposes based on its agricultural or horticultural use, rather than its full market value. The key provisions include allowing non-contiguous land under the same ownership to be included if it is within 1/2 mile and used for a unified agricultural purpose, as well as allowing up to 100% more acreage than what is actively used for agriculture or horticulture to be included. The tax rate for this land is set at the commercial property rate under Chapter 59.
