What this form is
This form lets a landowner renew an agricultural assessment for parcels on the current year’s assessment roll when the last Form RP-305 was approved and eligibility conditions have not changed. It asks for owner and property details, tax map numbers, and certifications about ownership, acreage, use, and qualifying agricultural activity. If any certification is untrue, the instructions say to file Form RP-305 instead.
Who needs it
A landowner seeking to renew an agricultural assessment for eligible parcels whose status has not changed since the last Form RP-305 was filed.
How to submit it
File the form with the city, town, or village assessor on or before the municipality’s taxable status date. If the property is in a village, file with both the town and village assessor unless the village does not assess property.
About notarization
