MAN-MADE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE FAILURE

Summary

The bill lets owners of land that becomes idle because a special water district’s infrastructure fails and cuts water delivery to 70% or less treat the land as “agricultural use” for property tax purposes. It requires the water district to certify the shortage to the county assessor, and sets up application and reporting rules for landowners. This aims to prevent higher taxes on land temporarily unable to produce crops due to water shortages.
