Landowners filing for an agricultural assessment
in 2009 should have filed applications with their local
assessor by March 1st 2009, but it is never too early to prepare for next year.
To complete an application
for an agricultural assessment, landowners must
have a Soil Group Worksheet (SGW) prepared by the
SWCD for each tax parcel they intend to enroll. Landowners who have previously had an SGW completed
for a tax parcel do not need a new one unless
the total parcel acreage changed.
Landowners participating in the program for
the first time, or those who need a revised SGW, should make an appointment with
our office now. The worksheets should be completed as early as possible. All appointments
must be made before Monday, February 19th.
When calling, the landowner
should have the appropriate
tax map number
location
acreage for each
parcel
This information can be found on the most recent parcel tax bill. A fee of
$25.00 will be charged for each SGW, new or revised.
Agricultural land does not automatically receive an agricultural assessment.
Landowners must apply each year to remain eligible. For more information, contact
your local assessor, or Real Property Tax Service at 753-5040. Contact SWCD to
make an appointment for your SGW. |
