 California Land Conservation Act (Williamson Act)

California Land Conservation Act (Williamson Act)

What is the purpose of the California Land Conservation Act (CLCA) or Williamson Act?

The purpose, as set forth in state law, is an effort to preserve agricultural land despite increasing conversion of such land to urban uses.

How does the Williamson Act work?

Farmers enter into an agreement with the County of Placer to restrict the use of their land to the production of agricultural commodities for commercial purposes. This restriction would eliminate the potential subdivision uses of the land, which would reserve this land for future production of food and fiber.

What is an Agricultural Preserve?

An Agricultural Preserve is a specifically described area, or areas, of the County devoted to agriculture and other compatible uses. It is established by a Resolution of the Board of Supervisors prior to, or at the time the agreement is signed with the landowner.
