AI Summary
- Allows landowners to apply for farm land classification on municipal grand lists by filing with the assessor within 30 days before or after the assessment date (or 90 days after assessment date in revaluation years)
- Assessors must consider acreage, portion in actual farming use, productivity, gross income, equipment value, and contiguity of tracts when determining farm land classification
- Prohibits assessors from denying farm land classification applications if the land meets statutory criteria or on the basis of municipal zoning minimum acreage requirements for residential or agricultural parcels
- Failure to file an application within the prescribed timeframe and form constitutes a waiver of the right to farm land classification on that assessment list
- Aggrieved applicants have the same appeal and relief rights available to taxpayers challenging assessor decisions
