Summary
SB 898 changes West Virginia's property tax rules for structures used only for agriculture. Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, those buildings would be assessed at their salvage value, and on Jan. 1, 2029 they would be removed from ad valorem tax calculations. The goal is to lower the tax burden on farmers who own qualified farmland.
