This bill allows agricultural landowners to have high-elevation land (above 1,950 feet) assessed as lower-value "noncropland" if it's been in perennial vegetation for at least 20 years and used for grazing, or if it's native grassland—regardless of soil type. Landowners must request this classification by August 1st with documentation, and must notify the state if they later change the land's use to cropland or another purpose.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
