What it does

The United States department of agriculture’s conservation reserve program (CRP) is a land conservation program administered by the federal farm service agency (FSA). In exchange for a yearly rental payment, property owners enrolled in the program enter into contracts with the FSA to remove environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production and plant species that will improve environmental health and quality. This bill prohibits land from being classified or valued as residential property for property tax purposes under Iowa law while the property is enrolled in the CRP. The bill applies to property tax assessment years beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
