Agricultural Security Area Information
Owners of farmland in Middlesex Township can obtain agricultural security status and benefit from the protection given farm uses under state law.
In an effort to conserve and protect agricultural land in Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania legislature in 1981 passed the Agricultural Security Area Law. Farmland designated as part of an agricultural security area is protected from local laws that would unreasonably restrict farming practices. In addition, normal agricultural operations cannot be subject to public nuisance laws or ordinances.
If you own at least ten acres of farmland, your land may obtain agricultural security status. An application, which can be obtained through Middlesex Township, must be completed and submitted to Middlesex Township by certified mail. Once the application is received, notice that the application has been submitted is published in the newspaper and posted near the property to be included in the agricultural security area. The application is then given to the Middlesex Township Planning Commission, the Cumberland County Planning Commission and the Middlesex Township Agricultural Security Advisory Committee to review. The members of the Agricultural Security Advisory Committee consist of three active farmers, one Township resident at large and one Township Supervisor. Each group reports its recommendations to the Middlesex Township Board of Supervisors.
After the Supervisors receive the reports, a hearing is held. The Supervisors then decide whether to include the farmland in the agricultural security area. If the farmland is accepted as part of the agricultural area, a document identifying the farmland is recorded in the Office of the Cumberland County Recorder of Deeds, which ensures that the agricultural security status remains with the farmland in the event the land is sold or transferred.
Once farmland is designated a part of an agricultural security area, every seven years its status as part of the security area is automatically renewed unless the security area is reviewed prior to the end of any seven year period by the Board of Supervisors and a decision is made that the area should be terminated. There are over 2,500 acres of farmland in Middlesex Township which are presently in the agricultural security area. If you want more information concerning how to place your farmland in the agricultural security area, please contact Middlesex Township. |
