Rep. Rex Shipp (R)

HB 240 (Help for Urban Farmers - Simpler Property Tax Assesment)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

This bill clarifies that land dedicated to urban farming qualifies for agricultural tax treatment if it generates at least $1,000 in annual gross sales per quarter-acre.

Libertas supports this bill. Small-scale farmers should receive tax treatment comparable to larger farms and efforts to simplify and streamline eligibility requirements for farmers deserves support.
