To revise the definition of “tree farming,” for purposes of classifying land as “agricultural” for property tax assessment purposes. Current law only includes growing Christmas tree and nursery stock in the agricultural classification, which qualifies land for a lower property tax rate. The bill defines “tree farming” as the management and harvesting of a parcel of property stocked with forest products if it is enrolled in a recognized tree farm system and has a certified management plan for harvesting and planting forest products.
