2021-2022 Regular Session • Delaware Legislature
SB163: An Act To Amend Title 9 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Farms.
Legislative Summary
This Act more closely aligns the meaning of agricultural, horticultural, and forestry land use with the U.S. Census Bureaus definition of farm, which, since the 1974 Census, has included any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and sold . . . during the year. This alignment will ensure a more equitable tax treatment of farms throughout Delaware.
