Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 6, June 1, 2024

Section 150-308-1030 - Assessment of Farmlands Within Exclusive Farm Use (EFU) Zones

(1)

(a) Zoned farm use land means land that is zoned as farm use land pursuant to ORS 215.010 to 215.190.

(b) Real market value is the basis for the assessment of farmland not qualified to be assessed at farm use value. Real market value is defined in ORS 308.205.

(2) Qualification and Disqualification Dates:

(a) To be entitled to farm use assessment, land must be qualified as of January 1 each year. Often, qualifying farm use land is not farmed during the winter months which include the qualifying date of January 1. If land is not employed in farm use on January 1, the assessor may look at the prior year's usage of the land to determine qualification for January 1.

(b) Farm use disqualifications take effect July 1 following the disqualification.

(3) Appeal on the question of qualification for special assessment as farm use land: An appeal from a decision of the assessor concerning qualification for special assessment as farmland under ORS Ch. 308A is made directly to the Magistrate Division of the Tax Court under 305.275(1) (also see 305.280). It is not made through an appeal to the county Board of Property Tax Appeals.
