Per New York State Agriculture and Markets Law 303-b, the Chautauqua County Legislature has designated January 2-31, 2025 as the annual 30-day period during which landowners may submit requests to include predominantly viable agricultural land into an existing certified agricultural district. During this period, landowners may submit written requests for inclusion into the Agricultural District. Parcels requesting inclusion must meet the definition of “viable agricultural land” as defined in Agriculture and Markets Law §301, subdivision 7. Lands already included in the district need not submit a request.
