More farmland owners qualify for tax relief
The law expands farmland tax credit access for owners of farmland and related buildings covered by two land-protection arrangements. The property must have a conservation easement plus a qualifying development-rights agreement, purchase of development rights, or agricultural conservation easement. Both arrangements must have been signed before January 1, 2025. Existing farmland tax credit rules still govern the amount and how owners claim it. The law took effect immediately after the required companion bills—Senate Bills 686, 687, 688, 689, 690, and 699—became law.
