What this form is
Use this form to ask the county Board of Tax Assessors to consider current-use assessment for residential transitional property. It requests owner, property, acreage, and homestead exemption details, along with a sworn statement that the information is true and the property qualifies. The form also includes an application to release a conservation-use assessment after applicable taxes and penalties are satisfied; the owner completes that section when seeking a release.
Who needs it
A property owner, or an authorized representative signing for the owner, may use the application to seek current-use assessment or apply for release of a conservation-use assessment.
Why it needs a notary
The application and release sections each carry a “Sworn to and subscribed before me” block; the taxpayer or authorized representative signs the applicable section before the notary.
