SF 5139 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Class 2 agricultural property classification modification to include certain farm wineries

This bill modifies Minnesota's property tax classification system to include certain farm wineries under Class 2 agricultural property. By amending state statutes, the legislation allows wineries that meet specific agricultural criteria to qualify for lower tax rates similar to traditional farming operations. The change directly affects winery owners who currently do not fit the existing definitions of agricultural land use, potentially reducing their property tax assessments. The bill requires wineries to demonstrate compliance with agricultural production standards to receive this new classification status.
