MN HF2613

Increases the allowable distance for noncontiguous agricultural land to qualify for agricultural homestead classification from four townships or cities to five townships or cities.

Applies this distance expansion to multiple provisions: noncontiguous parcels owned by homestead owners (subdivision 14(a)(3)), agricultural property actively farmed by owners or family members (subdivision 14(b)(5)), noncontiguous land included in homesteads (subdivision 14(c)), and family farm entities (subdivision 14(g)(5)).

Maintains all other existing requirements for agricultural homestead classification, including minimum acreage (40 acres for active farming, 20 acres for noncontiguous parcels), Minnesota residency, and agricultural use value thresholds.

Effective for taxes payable in 2013 and thereafter.
