Agricultural Security Areas (ASA)
This program was signed into law on
February 15, 2005, and became effective on May 18,
2005. It authorizes one or more landowners
of at least 500 acres of contiguous farmland to request
from the boards of township trustees and county commissioners
to enroll into an Agricultural Security Area for
a 10-year period. It provides certain benefits
to farmers, including protection from non-agricultural
development, a critical mass of land to help keep
farming viable, and possible tax abatement on new
real property.
