In Pennsylvania, farm owners can permanently preserve their farmland with the help of private, charitable land trusts or through the Agricultural Conservation Easement Purchase Program (ACEPP), jointly administered by the state and county agricultural land preservation boards.

What is an Agricultural Preserve? An agricultural preserve defines the boundary of an area within which a city or county will enter into contracts with landowners.

The minimum term for contracts is ten years. However, since the contract term automatically renews on each anniversary date of the contract, the actual term is essentially indefinite. Landowners receive substantially reduced property tax assessments in return for enrollment under a Williamson Act contract.

Agricultural Preservation is the process of perpetually limiting how your farmland can be used in the future. It is an entirely voluntary process designed to allow a farmer who owns prime agricultural land to eliminate the possibility of it ever being used for something other than farming.

The Williamson Act is estimated to save agricultural landowners from 20 percent to 75 percent in property tax liability each year. Many counties offer a Williamson Act calculator to determine the value of a contract.

The Agricultural Land Preservation Program statute (Minn. Stat. Ch. 40A) makes it possible for owners of qualifying land to receive property tax credits of $1.50 per acre per year, and other benefits as well, in return for agreeing to preserve their farms for long-term agricultural use.

Located 1.5 hours north of San Francisco in Central Sonoma County, the city of Santa Rosa offers numerous wineries, a wildlife park, its own symphony, and the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts.

What is a Williamson Act Contract? A Williamson Act Contract is the legal document that obligates the property owner, and any successors of interest, to the contract's enforceable restrictions.

Land must be at least 5 acres and meet other findings. Public access is not required.
