MEMORANDUM

Posted:	August 25, 2021 03:04 PM
From:	Representative Mindy Fee
To:	All House members
Subject:	Farmland Preservation Legislation

I will soon introduce legislation that will provide for the subdivision of small parcels of preserved farmland under limited circumstances.    The current law requires a minimum of 10 acres for a subdivision of preserved farmland.  There are numerous circumstances where contiguous preserved farm owners wish to convey smaller parcels from one owner to the other.  My legislation will require a county farmland preservation program to provide for such small-parcel subdivisions and further, insulate the transfer from triggering roll-back tax penalties under the Clean and Green preferential tax assessment program. Please join me in co-sponsoring this legislation.
