2003 House Bill 4143

Introduced in the House

Feb. 4, 2003

Introduced by Rep. Jacob Hoogendyk (R-61)

To add the management and harvesting of property stocked with timber for harvesting as lumber or pulp to the definition of “tree farming,” for purposes of classifying the land as “agricultural” for property tax assessment purposes. Current law only includes growing Christmas tree and nursery stock in the agricultural classification, which qualifies land for a lower property tax rate.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
