The bill creates a definition of “urban agricultural use” for parcels under 5 acres that are primarily used for farming or horticulture in an urban area and generate at least $300 in sales or program payments each year. It amends the state tax code so that such land is treated as actively devoted to agriculture, which could change how it is assessed for property tax. The measure targets urban farmers and aims to recognize their activity in the tax system.
