This bill allows agricultural or horticultural landowners to separate up to 10% of their contiguous land (or 15 acres, whichever is smaller) for renewable energy projects without full property tax liability. Instead, landowners pay 50% of the "roll-back taxes" that would apply if the land reverted to agricultural use, provided the land was non-productive at the time of separation. If the renewable energy use ends permanently and the land isn’t returned to farming, full tax liability resumes. The bill directly affects landowners converting agricultural land to solar or wind projects, with clear limits on the land size and tax obligations.
