J. Curtis Tyler, III, Vice Chan ~ <br /> RE: Bi1149, Draft 4 1 <br /> Agricultural Tax Bill <br /> This is to transmit Bi1149, Draft 4, which includes the following amendments. The amendments discuss the <br /> difference between Draft 3 and Draft 4: <br /> 1. Section 19-2(a)(1): Added a definition for "agriculture use value". <br /> 2. Section 19-2(a)(2): Clarified definition for "commercial agricultural activities" where the <br /> minimum $2,000 gross income is per farm operation, which may include <br /> multiple parcels that need not be contiguous. <br /> 3. Section 19-2(a)(3): Deleted reference to the areas that "commercial agricultural use dedication" do <br /> not apply, such as homesite, and setbacks. With the change in the way a <br /> homesite would be valued under Bi1149, this reference is not needed. <br /> 4. Section 19-2(a)(7): Amended "director" to replace the word "subordinate" with "representative." <br /> 5. Section 19-2(a)(8): Added a definition for "farm dwelling," which is similar to that in the Zoning <br /> Code and Chapter 205, HRS, Land Use Law. <br /> 6. Section 19-2(a)(9), (11), (14): Added the words "but not limited to" for consistency. <br /> 7. Section 19-2(a)(13): Amended the list of agricultural activities to say "and/or" instead of "or". <br /> 8. Section 19-2(a)(13): Deleted reference to the areas that "non-dedicated agricultural use assessment" <br /> do not apply, such as homesite and setbacks. With the change in the way a <br /> homesite would be valued under Bi1149, this reference is not needed. <br /> 9. Section 19-(2)(a)(14): Added "noni" to the list of possible orchard crops. <br /> 10. Section 19-53(a): Added the phrase "Except as provided below" in order to allow the <br /> determination of value for agricultural real property to be valued on its <br /> productivity value. <br /> Kona CouncilOlfce:77-6399NalaniStrcet Suite l04 ' Kailua-Kona • I(awai'i • 96740-8980 <br /> Hawai `i County is an Egual Opportunity Provider and Employer <br /> ca~t~ 1 I <br /> (Lehr. flafs=. ~Q~~ <br /> <br />
