What are the property tax benefits of Agricultural Preserves?
There is no deferred tax like there is in "Green Acres." Special assessments cannot be levied on Agricultural Preserve property. Annual property taxes are based on the agricultural market value only. An additional property tax credit of $1.50 per acre is applied; or the tax calculated using 105% of the statewide average tax rate is used if that tax is less than calculated using the $1.50 per acre credit.
