ASSEMBLY COMMERCE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND
AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE
STATEMENT TO
ASSEMBLY, No. 4465
STATE OF NEW JERSEY
DATED: DECEMBER 16, 2024
The Assembly Commerce, Economic Development and
Agriculture Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 4465.
This bill would revise the “Farmland Assessment Act of 1964” to
clarify that the mere cessation of agricultural or horticultural activity
on land that is valued, assessed, and taxed as farmland under that law,
will not subject the land to roll-back taxes unless an active conversion
of the land to a non-agricultural or non-horticultural use takes place.
“Roll-back taxes” are the additional taxes assessed on a property that
is no longer dedicated to agricultural or horticultural use. The amount
of roll-back taxes assessed on a property are the difference between
the property taxes paid on the property as assessed for agricultural or
horticultural use and the taxes that would have otherwise been due if
the property had been taxed as other land within the taxing district.
These taxes are assessed for the tax year in which agricultural or
horticultural use was discontinued and the two tax years preceding.
