Farm Property Class Tax Rate Program Application

Eligibility application

Who should complete this application?

• You recently purchased farmland
• You made changes to your farmland ownership or operations 
• You need an exemption

What you need to apply

• Your property roll number
  • The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) assesses your property as farmland and determines its value. You can find your property roll number on the notice of assessment they send you.
• Your Farm Business Registration (FBR) number
  • If you don’t have an FBR number, get one here
  • If the property is farmed by a tenant, you will need their FBR number
  • If you or your tenant don’t qualify for an FBR number, you can apply for an exemption

You only need to apply once.  After that, your farm property will remain in the program and be taxed at the farm property class tax rate as long as you meet the eligibility requirements, including keeping your FBR number valid each year.
