Amends TCA Title 11, Chapter 14, Part 2; Title 11, Chapter 15 and Title 67, Chapter 5.
Tennessee SB0247 amends existing laws regarding the classification of agricultural, forest, and open space land to allow for the continuation of tax classifications without renewal when such land is owned jointly by individuals under tenancy by the entireties or joint tenancy with right of survivorship. This bill affects landowners of qualified properties, ensuring that upon the death of one owner or in the event of a divorce, the surviving or remaining owner retains the land's classification without needing to reapply, provided the land continues to meet size and other qualifying criteria. Key provisions include the stipulation that the classification remains intact as long as the ownership structure is preserved through survivorship rights or property division in divorce.
