New reporting rules for foreign farmland investors
Foreign persons required to report farmland interests to the U.S. Department of Agriculture must also send Tennessee a copy. They must file with Tennessee's agriculture commissioner by the same federal deadline. This applies to federal reports made on or after July 1, 2025. Covered foreign persons include individuals, foreign entities and governments, and U.S. entities with substantial foreign influence or control. For missing state copies, the commissioner must notify the state Attorney General. The Attorney General may seek a penalty up to 25% of the land interest's fair market value when assessed. Enforcement cases may be filed in a county circuit court where any part of the land is located. The commissioner may issue rules under Tennessee's administrative rulemaking law. These reporting and enforcement rules expire if the federal Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act is repealed. The commissioner must then notify Tennessee's Code Commission in writing.
