Rich County Commissioners voted to reinstate Greenbelt (agricultural) classification for a parcel at Revolution Ridge after the county assessor reported the owner had completed recertification steps but the assessor’s office lacked an email copy of the paperwork.

Rich County Assessor Kim Wilson explained the owner had been removed from Greenbelt during recertification attempts because mailed notices were returned; the owner later contacted the assessor and said he had submitted the recertification. Wilson said she did not have the emailed form and planned to verify whether the property met Greenbelt requirements before finalizing assessments. Commissioners moved to reinstate the parcel’s Greenbelt status and to have staff investigate and document the parcel’s current agricultural use.

Wilson provided context to the commission about Greenbelt eligibility: parcels must be five acres or larger, devoted to agricultural production (for example grazing or hay), and produce at least 50% of what the land is capable of producing based on Utah State study figures; Greenbelt valuation uses production value rather than market value and carries a potential five‑year rollback tax if removed. She said the owner reported running cattle on the property and had signed the Greenbelt statement. The commission’s motion authorized reinstatement of Greenbelt status and directed the assessor’s office to examine the parcel, take photographs and confirm whether building permits or other changes affect eligibility.

Commissioners indicated they will revisit related property‑value and building‑permit issues (including a separate matter where a small strip of land and its valuation were contested by a property owner and directed to the Board of Equalization). The Greenbelt reinstatement was approved by motion and carried unanimously.
