To CAPR supporters and other interested
parties:
If you, or someone you know has had an issue
with your County Assessor in
regards to an Agricultural tax exemption, the
message below and the letter
in the attached PDF file will be of
interest. The Department of Revenue has
sent a letter to all Washington
County Assessors asking them to "take no
enforcement or collection action
with respect to the removal or
reclassification of property currently in farm
and agricultural land until
we have the opportunity to work through the
rule-making process". It
appears that DOR is going to reconsider their
strict interpretation of state
law.
Kudos must be given
to the Save Our Farms Coalition and other groups for
mobilizing quickly and
getting people involved. A large, well informed
crowd always makes a
difference!
You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open the
PDF file. You can download
it to your computer for free at:

And
a request. If anyone REALLY knows why this whole issue started
up,
please let me know!
Jeff Wright
Secretary,
CAPR
The
attached PDF is a memo from Brad Flaherty, Assistant Director of
the
Department of Revenue, Property Tax Division, to all County
Assessors
requesting that they take no enforcement or collection action with
respect
to the removal or reclassification of property currently in farm
and
agricultural land until the Department has the opportunity to work
through
the rulemaking process.
Please distribute this
e-mail widely. I will send this out to the entire
stakeholder list when
I finish updating it, but we wanted to get it out
before the weekend at least
to everybody who confirmed for yesterday?s
meetings.
