HB 589 Florida House · 2025 Regular Session

Improvements to Structures on Agricultural Lands

HB 589 prevents property tax increases for farmers who make certain improvements to existing structures on agricultural land. It directly affects agricultural landowners who upgrade buildings like barns or storage facilities. The key provision blocks these improvements from triggering a higher assessed value for property tax purposes, meaning the tax bill stays the same as before the upgrade. This maintains current tax burdens for farmers making qualifying structural changes without requiring new tax calculations.
