In 1980, the state rolled out a program that would allow agricultural and forest land to be taxed for its use rather than its market value. The current use program has gone through some changes over its almost-four-decade life. Vermont Edition explains the complexities of current use.
Elizabeth Hunt, Vermont's Current Use program manager, and Michael Snyder, the state's commissioner of Forests, Parks and Recreation, discuss why the current use program exists, what land is eligible and how it affects municipal and education tax revenues.
