Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From January 26th to February 24th a landowner may submit a request to include entire
parcels of predominantly viable agricultural land within a certified New York State
Agricultural District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


NYS Agricultural and Markets Law requires that the County Legislature designate an annual
thirty-day time period within which a landowner may submit a request for inclusion of property
within a certified agricultural district. This annual time period occurs in Genesee County from
January 26th to February 24th and is exclusively designed to incorporate property which is
predominantly viable agricultural land \u2013 defined by Genesee County as lands that are composed
of at least 51% prime farmland soils and\/or are contiguous to the main farm operation.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications for the inclusion of land are available at the Genesee County Department of
Planning in County Building No. 2 (3837 W Main Street Rd, Batavia) or can be downloaded
or printed by visiting the website:
http:\/\/www.co.genesee.ny.us\/departments\/planning\/agricultural_farmland_protection_board.php#annualenrollment<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The application must be completed and signed by the landowner and returned to the Genesee
County Department of Planning by 5:00 PM on February 24th. Due to the language of the NYS
Agricultural and Markets Law, no applications can be accepted before January 26th.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLEASE NOTE: Requesting enrollment of a property during this thirty-day time period is not a
guarantee that your property will be added to an existing Agricultural District, and it will not
automatically qualify your property for a reduced agricultural property tax assessment. For
information on obtaining a reduced agricultural property tax assessment you must contact your
local assessor. Please remember, Taxable Status Date is March 1st<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
