Ledyard Farms could take advantage of a property tax exemption on the first $100,000 of assessed value of each farm building under a proposal being considered by the Town Council. State statutes allow a similar exemption for farm vehicles.
Farms would have to either record at least $15,000 in annual gross sales from their operations or at least $15,000 in annual expenses to qualify for the exemption. It would not apply to buildings used as residences, either for farmers or seasonal employees. The proposed ordinance also would not apply to solar array farms.
