Land excluded from Land Use Assessment and assessed at fair market value includes the area under houses, yards, personal gardens, driveways/roadways to houses, unused fields and any structure not related to the qualifying use. Land under tenant houses, occupied as part of compensation by full time employees in the farming operation should not be included in this declaration.
It is the property owner(s) responsibility to report any change to a non-qualifying use of a property, including ineligible land, to the local assessing official within 60 days of such change. This change will result in roll back taxes being assessed on the portion of the land that is declared as ineligible.
