Massachusetts S11 proposes a constitutional amendment to change land valuation for tax purposes for agricultural and horticultural lands.

Massachusetts S11 proposes a constitutional amendment to alter the valuation of agricultural and horticultural lands for tax purposes. The amendment would allow the General Court to set tax values based on the land's agricultural or horticultural use, provided the land has been actively used for such purposes for two years before the tax year. This change aims to ensure fair market value for these lands.
