Lien protection for farmland entering conservation
Michigan farmland development rights agreements automatically end for land entering a qualifying conservation easement or development-rights purchase. Qualifying arrangements fall under MCL 324.2140(a), 324.2141, 324.36101(a), 324.36111b, or 324.36206. Land outside the new arrangement stays under its existing agreement until its original end date, without an extension. Covered land avoids this section’s tax-credit lien when the agreement ends automatically or expires as the qualifying conservation arrangement begins. This protection does not cover other liens. The law took effect immediately.
