Chapter No. 2026-34
Summary
The bill lets owners of qualifying farmland apply to their local government to have the land certified as an agricultural enclave. Once certified, owners may develop the parcel for residential, commercial, or industrial uses that match surrounding density, but the process includes tight reporting, hearing, and review deadlines and safeguards for wildlife corridors and protected areas. It applies to unincorporated parcels in counties of 1.75 million people or fewer that meet specific size, use, and surrounding‑land criteria.
