Agricultural Assessment Renewal Certification
Landowners use this certification to renew an agricultural assessment for parcels whose ownership, acreage, soil classification, and agricultural use have not changed.
What this form is
This certification lets a landowner renew an agricultural assessment for the current assessment roll when the last Form RP-305 application was approved and the parcels’ eligibility conditions remain unchanged. It asks for the landowner’s contact details, parcel tax map numbers, and confirmation of eligibility statements. If any statement is untrue, the instructions say to file Form RP-305 instead.
Who needs it
A landowner seeking to renew an approved agricultural assessment may use this certification if the parcels’ eligibility conditions have not changed.
How to submit it
File the renewal with the city assessor on or before the taxable status date; contact the local assessor’s office to confirm that date. Include a stamped, self-addressed envelope only if requesting a copy of the determination.
About notarization
This certification is signed and dated without a notary; attach Form RP-305-e if a tax-exempt orchard or vineyard was replaced or expanded since the last Form RP-305.
