<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Agricultural and forestal districts provide a means for a mutual undertaking by landowners and local governments to protect and enhance agricultural and forestal land as a viable segment of the commonwealth's economy and as an economic and environmental resource of major importance. Landowners relinquish development rights of participating property parcels in return for increased protection and real estate tax benefits. All residents benefit from good stewardship of the land and from the reduced demand to extend urban public services into rural areas of the county. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Polygons in this feature class are derived at time of AFD renewals, and are thus a snapshot in time of properties at renewal date. It is recommended to crosscheck this feature class with current Tax Parcels, according to participating Parcel ID's, when verifying current AFD land owners. While parcel participation status in an AFD is not normal to change outside of a renewal year, it is possible to have a change of land owner. The correct and current land owner must be notified at the next renewal time. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
