Clean and Green tax plan faces Pennsylvania House
The Pennsylvania General Assembly returns to Harrisburg on Nov 12 to address the Clean and Green constitutional amendment. The plan would let counties tax land by actual use to curb farmland loss, with farm and open space owners seeking tax relief while risking penalties for selling. Hoouse and Senate disputes focus on how much land can be sold without penalty and for how long, with versions allowing 2 to 10 acres per year and different repayment periods. The bill requires land use to meet strict contiguity and use rules, and would proceed to Gov. Shapp if agreed.
