Property tax: exemptions; personal property used in agriculture operations; exclude property used to cultivate marihuana. Amends sec. 9 of 1893 PA 206 (MCL 211.9).
This bill amends Michigan's property tax law to clarify that property used to cultivate marijuana is not eligible for the agricultural property tax exemption. It directly affects farmers and agricultural operations by explicitly removing cannabis cultivation from the list of activities that qualify for tax-exempt status under the agricultural operations provision. The legislation adds a specific exclusion clause to the existing definition of agricultural operations, ensuring that while traditional farming activities remain exempt, marijuana cultivation does not receive the same tax benefits. The bill does not create new exemptions or change tax rates, but rather clarifies which agricultural uses are excluded from tax relief.
