Production green area

Productive green zones are an urban planning system that aims to systematically and permanently preserve agricultural land in urbanized areas and contribute to the creation of a good living environment. Inagi City has designated 430 productive green zones, covering an area of approximately 93.31 hectares . (Inagi City Notice No. 1, January 1, 2025)
When an area is designated as a productive green space district, it is eligible for tax benefits (fixed property tax and inheritance tax); however, it is required to properly manage and preserve the land as farmland for 30 years, and activities such as the construction of buildings and development of residential land are restricted.
Please make sure you understand the productive green space district system well and consult with your family before applying for designation.

Specified production green space system

The designated productive green area system is a system that allows the designation period to be extended every 10 years for productive green areas that have been designated for 30 years. For productive green areas that have been designated for 30 years, the inheritance tax deferment system cannot be applied to the next inheritance unless they are designated as specified productive green areas. In addition, after 5 years, fixed asset tax and city planning tax may become the same level as residential land.

For agricultural land that was applied for and approved as designated specific production green space, the land was designated as specific production green space in three installments on January 1, 2022, October 1, 2022, and January 1, 2023.

The first confirmation of intentions for designated production green spaces and designation application forms will be mailed to relevant individuals in late December 2024.
Please consult with your family and apply for the designation. Applications will be accepted on the following dates:

Application acceptance (1st time)
From Monday, January 6, 2025 to Monday, March 31, 2025

For those who would like to think it over carefully or those who were unable to respond the first time, we will be sending out further notifications and accepting applications around the summer of 2025, so we ask that you do not rush and consider the matter carefully with your family.

You can apply for purchase (procedures to remove the productive green space designation) at any time.
