Agricultural-Use Conversion

A Use-Value conversion charge is assessed to a land owner who converts their lands’ use from agricultural to any other use excepting undeveloped, agricultural forest, productive forest or other. The State law benefits farmers by keeping agricultural land assessed as if no development will occur, but the State law also imposes a conversion charge on the owner once the land use changes.
