Small Rural Properties, Like Lots, of Up to 2 Thousand Square Meters Advance in Legal Definition and Can Access Credit, Municipal Exemptions, and Technical Programs According to Proposal Approved by the Agriculture Committee of the Chamber in 2025
The Bill 918/25 was approved by the Agriculture Committee of the Chamber, defining rural properties of up to 2 thousand square meters, lots, for example, as rural properties intended for agricultural production, establishing criteria for recognition as small productive units.
The project indicates benefits that depend on regulation, impacting family agriculture and support programs.

The Senate approves a bill that criminalizes misogyny, hatred, or aversion towards women, and includes the crime in the Racism Law with a penalty of up to 5 years.
These units may be intended for subsistence or commercialization, respecting the characterization provided in the proposal.
The rapporteur, Deputy Colonel Meira, recommended the approval of the text arguing that the measure creates a legal basis for small properties to be recognized and included in support programs for sustainable rural production.
According to him, the definition contributes to identifying producers who need specific policies.
The author of the proposal, Deputy Murillo Gouvea, stated that recognizing lots as small rural properties is essential to valuing family agriculture.
“The definition of lots as small rural properties is essential to recognize the importance of family agriculture in the economy and environmental preservation,” said the author of the proposal.
Benefits Foreseen in the Approved Proposal
The proposal establishes that properties recognized as lots may enjoy three groups of benefits related to rural activity.
The first concerns access to credit and financing specifically aimed at small farmers, allowing these units to have formal instruments for productive support.
The second benefit refers to the exemption from municipal fees and taxes related to rural activity. This provision seeks to reduce maintenance and operating costs of small properties, expanding conditions for the continuity of cultivation and breeding activities.
The third group involves training and technical assistance programs promoted by state and federal agencies.
The project indicates that this support may assist in developing sustainable practices and improving production, strengthening family agriculture.
Regulation Expected After Approval of the Law
The proposal determines that the executive branch will have a period of 12 months after publication to regulate the law.
This regulation should define criteria and procedures for the formal recognition of lots, detailing how the benefits provided in the proposal will be applied.
The project also establishes that the legal definition will come into effect from the date of publication, allowing responsible agencies to initiate the regulatory process immediately after legislative approval.
The proposal emphasizes that recognition is necessary to guarantee legal security for small producers.
The matter is being processed conclusively in the Chamber and will still be analyzed by the Committee on Constitution, Justice, and Citizenship. After this stage, it will need to be approved by the Chamber’s plenary and subsequently by the Senate in order to become federal law.
More Details About the Project
The bill reaffirms the definition of a lot as a rural property of up to 2 thousand square meters intended for agricultural, livestock, or agropecuary production. The proposal includes activities aimed at subsistence and commercialization, reinforcing the range of possible uses within the category.
Lots will be recognized as small rural properties and will have access to the benefits already listed in the report.
This definition is presented as a means to promote sustainable development and support families that depend on small-scale productive activities.
The final article establishes that the law comes into effect on the date of its publication, ensuring immediate validity.
The justification of the proposal reinforces the importance of supporting family agriculture, food security, and sustainable practices on small properties. You can access the proposal by clicking this link.
What Are Lots Like in Brazil
In Brazil, a lot is a type of small property used for leisure, housing, or limited production. There is no single size defined by law for general characterization, although it often occupies areas of a few thousand square meters.
Lots typically offer spacious environments, connected to nature, with the possibility of cultivation and small-scale animal husbandry.
Many families use these spaces as rest areas or as domestic production units aimed at personal consumption.
In various municipalities, lots are integrated into urban expansion zones, as they are close to highways, districts, or developing neighborhoods.
This facilitates access, increases residential interest, and maintains rural characteristics, even when close to urban centers.
Social and Economic Function of Lots
Despite their small size, lots contribute to the local economy through small agricultural productions, rural tourism, and provision of services.
Additionally, they preserve ways of life associated with the countryside and expand housing alternatives in green areas.
Properties maintain versatile characteristics, combining productive activities with leisure and residence.
This versatility explains the inclusion of lots in legislative debates aimed at family agriculture and the definition of small properties with uniform criteria.
Como tudo no Brasil, os benefícios vêm acompanhados de armadilhas, impostos, taxas, multas etc.
Por um lado é bom, por outro vamos ver os leilões de imóveis rurais ficarem cheios de chácaras devido a essas armadilhas.
Muito bom este **** que postou que não se faz nada ,é porque não conhece as chácaras da minha e mihares de outras produtivas,como frutas ,peixes, aves ,galinhas,perus,manga,cana. Já fui várias vezes em fazendas imensas de amigos e passei fome ,pois só tinha **** e mais nada.sendo assim tem milhares de chacaras que sim são produtivas
2.000 m² é o equivalente a uma área de 50 m x 40 m.
O que se consegue produzir nessa pequena área
Nada.
Isso é para beneficiar quem faz loteamento clandestino para moradia e lazer.
Loteamento clandestino é crime ambiental
