Land Use & Zoning

In Tennessee, an 'agricultural district' designation under the Greenbelt Law primarily helps property owners by:

AExempting agricultural land from all property taxes
BAllowing agricultural land to be assessed at its use value rather than market value✓ Correct
CProhibiting any non-agricultural development permanently
DTransferring ownership to the state for preservation

Explanation

Tennessee's Greenbelt Law (Agricultural, Forest, and Open Space Land Act) allows qualifying agricultural, forest, and open space land to be assessed based on its current use value rather than full market value, reducing the property tax burden.
