Relating to: managed forest land recording fees. (FE)
AB 707 modifies fees for land designated as "managed forest land" in Wisconsin. It requires new owners of such land to pay a $100 fee within 30 days of transfer (to certify continued compliance with management plans and obtain department approval), and sets a $300 withdrawal fee if land is removed from the program. The fees are deposited into the conservation fund, with $20 allocated to forestry recording under statute 20.370. This directly affects landowners transferring or withdrawing managed forest land, updating existing fee structures under statutes 77.82 and 77.88.
