BOC approves guidelines on conservation use

A 20-acre minimum on a conservation use land designation was approved by the Banks County Board of Commissioners at the November meeting.

This does not apply for those who already have a conservation use and plan to renew it.

“If renewing it, can be same number of acres,” county attorney Randall Frost said. “If you increase the number of acres but still don’t reach 20, you can still qualify.”
