MI HB5475

Amends the definition of "qualified agricultural property" under Michigan's General Property Tax Act to include private golf courses located within 5 miles of a municipal golf course.

Expands the definition of "owner" for property tax exemption purposes to include individuals, partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies, associations, and other legal entities (for section 7ee purposes).

Clarifies that qualified agricultural property status is not lost when an owner or lessee implements a wildlife risk mitigation action plan to reduce disease transmission between wildlife and livestock.

Allows property owners whose land was reclassified due to wildlife risk mitigation actions to appeal that classification change to the board of review within the year the amendment takes effect or in the 3 immediately succeeding years.

Requires the Department of Treasury to update its "Qualified Agricultural Property Exemption Guidelines" publication within 30 days of the amendment's effective date and post the updated version on its website.
