SB 1546 protects agricultural land valuation for property tax purposes when part of the land is taken through eminent domain for a right-of-way. Under current law, land taken by the government for roadways could lose its agricultural valuation status, leading to higher property taxes. This bill ensures that remaining portions of the land retain their agricultural tax status, even if the size of the land changes due to the right-of-way designation. The changes apply starting January 1, 2026.
