What this form is
This certification lets a landowner renew an agricultural assessment for parcels whose last Form RP-305 was approved and whose eligibility conditions remain unchanged. It asks for the landowner’s contact details, parcel tax map numbers, prior application year, and confirmation of continued eligibility and land use. If any certification statement is untrue, the instructions say to file Form RP-305 instead.
Who needs it
A landowner seeking renewal for parcels with an approved prior Form RP-305 and no changes to the conditions determining eligibility should use this certification.
How to submit it
File the renewal with the city, town, or village assessor; parcels in a village generally require filing with both the town and village assessors. The form says to file by the municipality’s taxable status date.
About notarization
This certification is signed and dated without a notary; if a tax-exempt orchard or vineyard was replaced or expanded, attach Form RP-305-e, which the instructions do not say must be notarized.
