Subd. 2.Eligibility; amount of credit.
Agricultural and rural vacant land classified under section273.13, subdivision 23, located within a bovine tuberculosis modified accredited zone is eligible for a property tax credit equal to the greater of: (1) $5 per acre on the first 160 acres of the property where the herd had been located; or (2) an amount equal to $5 per acre times five acres times the highest number of animals tested on the property for bovine tuberculosis in a whole-herd test as reported by the Board of Animal Health in 2006, 2007, or 2008. The amount of the credit cannot exceed the property tax payable on the property where the herd had been located, excluding any tax attributable to residential structures. To begin to qualify for the tax credit, the owner shall file an application with the county by December 1 of the levy year. The credit must be given for each subsequent taxes payable year until the credit terminates under subdivision 4.
