Agricultural land that has been seeded to grass for at least ten years and used for grazing (or left unharvested) or is native grassland can now be assessed as "noncropland" for tax purposes, which typically results in lower property valuations than cropland. Landowners can request this classification from the director of equalization before August 1st, and the director has 30 days to decide; if denied, owners can appeal the decision.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
