Michigan Farmland Preservation

Summary

The State of Michigan offers incentives in the form of tax breaks for landowners that meet certain
requirements. The PA 116 agreement creates a temporary restriction on the land between the State
and a landowner, voluntarily entered into by a landowner, preserving their land for agriculture in
exchange for certain tax benefits and exemptions for various special assessments. (commonly
known as PA 116).
