Ag Security Area Proposal, Addition and Renewal Form
Agricultural security areas are administered at the local level.  Contact your local agricultural land preservation office or township office to obtain an agricultural security area application form. This form, developed by the PA Department of Agriculture, may also be used when applying to join an ag security area. Completed proposals should be mailed to your local township office via certified mail, with return receipt requested. Where an agricultural security area falls within multiple townships, a proposal must be sent to each township.
