Explanation
Florida's Agricultural Classification (Greenbelt Law, F.S. 193.461) requires that land be used primarily for bona fide commercial agricultural purposes — meaning actual, good-faith agricultural activity for profit. There is no minimum acreage, and any landowner can qualify. The property appraiser evaluates the use, not the owner's history or location.
