Putnam County assessors approve 66 parcels for conservation-use valuation; one denied, four held for more information
Summary
At a March 24, 2026 work session the Putnam County Board of Tax Assessors reviewed 71 parcels for Conservation Use Valuation (CUVA) and Forest Land Protection Act (FLPA) consent, approving 66. Four parcels were held pending additional documentation and parcel #082-043 was denied for insufficient agricultural use.
The Putnam County Board of Tax Assessors approved 66 parcels for conservation-use valuation and related consent at a work session convened March 24, 2026, Chairman Shelby Storey said as the board completed its review of the 2026 CUVA/FLPA consent agenda.
The action followed the board’s review of 71 parcels submitted for consideration: 66 parcels for Conservation Use Valuation (CUVA) and five parcels for the Forest Land Protection Act (FLPA), according to the meeting minutes. The minutes record that a total of 66 parcels were approved; the minutes do not specify which approvals corresponded to CUVA versus FLPA forms.
Four parcels were held for additional information needed to determine eligibility for CUVA: parcel #025-021, parcel #064-011-001, parcel #077-014 and parcel #108-004. The minutes state that these parcels "require additional information to qualify for CUVA," but do not record what specific documentation the board requested.
Parcel #082-043 was denied Conservation Use status because the board determined it had insufficient agricultural use to meet CUVA requirements, the minutes say. No vote tallies, mover/second details or staff recommendations are included in the minutes for that specific denial.
Meeting attendance was recorded as Chairman Shelby Storey, John Richter, Evan Reese, Virginia Daley and Shona Bales; Shelby Young and Chuck Anglin were listed as also present. A quorum was noted and the session, called to order at 1:05 p.m., was adjourned at 1:46 p.m.
The minutes were submitted for approval by Dhilley Drez and show signatures for Chairman Shelby Storey and Secretary Shelby Young; the document lists the date approved as April 14, 2026. The minutes do not include verbatim deliberations, roll-call votes for individual parcels, or staff reports in the transcript provided.
