What happened
Ned Lamont formed a working group to review Public Act 490, a decades-old law governing how farmland in Connecticut is taxed. The law ties property taxes to the current use of the land rather than its potential fair-market value. The existing process was flawed due to low response rates and incomplete data, leading to significant property tax increases, including a 2,325% rise on some less valuable land.

Why it matters
The working group was tasked with recommending changes to the law to prevent future valuation issues. The process requires officials to survey farmers every five years to establish new values used by local assessors for tax calculations.
