Farm Land Identification Program (FLIP)

Amount:

No Fixed Amount

Type of Program:

Tax Defferal


Description:

The Farm Land Identification Program provides for the deferral of provincial property taxes on eligible farmland and outbuildings to encourage the preservation of real property for agricultural use. It is open to all owners of real property. 

Comments on Funding:

The program provides for the deferral of the applicable provincial real property tax on the assessed value of registered farmland and farm outbuildings. The portion of the local or municipal tax rate that is above the average LSD rate for the province is also deferred.
When a property registered in the Farm Land Identification Program is deregistered or withdrawn from the program by the assessed owner, the deferred taxes to a maximum of 15 previous years together with associated interest becomes due and payable. The total amount of interest added to the deferred taxes payable upon deregistration or withdrawal on or after September 1, 2007 from the Farm Land Identification Program is limited to a maximum of 50% of the total taxes deferred.


When It Ends:

Ongoing

Deadline:

Rolling Deadline

Eligibility:

  • Applicants must be farmland and outbuilding New Brunswick owners.
  • Land must be registered in the Registry of Agricultural Land under the Agricultural Land Protection and Development Act.
  • Farm outbuildings must be located on land registered in the Registry of Agricultural Land under the Agricultural Land Protection and Development Act.
  • The property (land and farm outbuildings where applicable) must be in use by an agricultural operation, or the owner must be willing to make the property available for use by rent or lease, given a reasonable offer, and must allow such property to be advertised as being available for rent or lease, to be eligible for registration in FLIP.
  • The land does not have a subdivision plan registered in the Provincial Land Registry which will result in the removal of the property from agricultural use.

Application Steps:

1

Applicants must submit an application to be considered for registration. Registration is a long term commitment to maintain land in agricultural use. There may be substantial financial costs to exiting the program.
Applications for registration of agricultural land in both the Registry of Agricultural Land and the Farm Land Identification Program should be made together, on the form provided. Application forms are available from any office of the New Brunswick Department of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries or online.
Applications must be signed by the registered owner(s) of the property.
