2004 House Bill 5673 ↩

House Roll Call 280: Passed

To establish that the definition of “livestock” in the law that gives favorable property tax treatment to agricultural producers includes, but is not limited to, cattle, sheep, new world camelids, goats, bison, privately owned cervids, ratites, swine, equine, poultry, aquaculture, and rabbits, but not include dogs and cats. The bill also extends the agricultural property tax exemptions to pay-to-hunt animal farm or game preserve. Finally, it would establish that a commercial storage, processing, distribution, marketing, or shipping operation may also be considered a part of agricultural operations. Under current law, "livestock" is not defined, and the exemption also applies to raising bees, fish, fur-bearing animals. These would still be exempt.
