Minnesota HF2011 modifies green acres tax deferment requirements, including nutrient management plans for certain regions.

Minnesota HF2011 amends the green acres tax deferment requirements. Land enrolled in conservation programs qualifies for deferral if it was previously used for agriculture. Owners in the southeast karst region must have a nutrient management plan to qualify for deferment after January 1, 2027. The board of each soil and water conservation district must certify these plans annually. The bill also modifies the application process for tax deferment, requiring owners to notify the board of any changes to the nutrient management plan. This act takes effect starting with assessment year 2026.
