Connecticut General Statutes require that every five years the Office of Policy and Management, in consultation with the Commissioner of Agriculture, develop the recommended land use values for all land assessed as PA 490 Farmland. PA 490 allows farm, forest and open space lands to be assessed at current use value rather than fair market value.
If you have any questions about PA 490 please contact the Connecticut Department of Agriculture at (860) 713-2503
