HD 2867 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the separation of agricultural land for renewable energy purposes

HD 2867 modifies Massachusetts tax law to exempt agricultural land separated for renewable energy production from certain taxes. Specifically, it prevents landowners from facing conveyance or roll-back taxes when they divide agricultural land (valued under Chapter 61A) for renewable energy use, as defined in Chapter 164. This directly affects farmers or landowners who develop renewable energy projects on portions of their agricultural land. The key provision removes tax liability for the separated renewable energy portion, maintaining the land's agricultural tax status for that specific area. The bill focuses on clarifying tax treatment for land used in renewable energy development without altering broader agricultural land use rules.
