Open Enrollment Period

Per New York State Agriculture and Markets Law Section 303-b, the Erie County Legislature designated September 1 through September 30 as the annual thirty-day period during which landowners may submit requests to include predominantly viable agricultural land into an existing certified agricultural district.

The 2022 Open Enrollment period has concluded. Requests to enroll land will be reviewed and considered by the Erie County Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board (AFPB) at their October 18 meeting. You can view the meeting notice here.

The next opportunity to submit a modification request is September 2023.
