Claimants may build up to three homes if previously allowed when they acquired their properties, four to 10 homes if they can document reduction in property values that justify additional homes, but may not build more than three homes on high-value farmlands, forestlands and groundwater-restricted lands. Allows claimants to transfer homebuilding rights upon sale or transfer of properties; extends rights to surviving spouses.
