Urban Farming Assessment Modifications
What changed between versions
Eliminated the requirement for landowners to submit an annual renewal application if their land was assessed in the prior year and eligibility information hasn't changed.
Added specific circumstances under which county assessors may request additional information from landowners, including when land is withdrawn from the program or when a new owner takes possession.
Changed application submission deadlines from May 1 for new assessments to January 30 for renewal applications, though renewals are no longer required.
Established retrospective operation effective January 1, 2025, allowing the changes to apply to assessments for that year and beyond.
Made technical corrections to numbering, formatting, and cross-references throughout the statute to improve clarity and consistency.
Clarified that incomplete applications must be returned to owners with a 30-day window to complete them before being considered denied.
