Assessor: designated-forest-land participants will see compliance audits starting next year
Summary
Emily from the assessor's office told the BOCC the office will begin rotating audits of designated-forest-land participants starting next year so property owners have time to return to compliance before potential removal from the program in 2027; audits follow Department of Revenue direction.
Emily, representing the assessor's office, explained the office's planned compliance reviews of participants in the designated forest land tax program. She said the county will start auditing properties next year on a rotating basis so owners who are out of compliance have time to come into compliance before any punitive action in 2027.
Emily said the Department of Revenue prompted the audits and described the aim as making the review process regular rather than a one-off "blindsiding" audit. She said many noncompliant cases are likely to involve logging without replanting and that the county's intention is to provide time for corrective action before program consequences are applied.
