Section 9. Considerations of
Assessor in Valuing Land.-(a)
The assessor in valuing land
which qualifies as land actively
devoted to agricultural use or
agricultural reserve use under
the tests prescribed by this act,
and as to which the owner thereof
has made timely application for
valuation, assessment and
taxation hereunder for the tax
year in issue, shall consider only
those indicia of value which such
land has for agricultural or
reserve use, he shall, in arriving
at the value of such land, con
sider available evidence of
agricultural land capability
derived from the recom
mendations of value of such land
as made by the commission.
(b) The factual details to be
shown on the assessor’s tax list
and duplicate with respect to land
which is being valued, assessed
and taxed under this act shall be
the same as those set forth by the
assessor with respect to other
taxable property in the taxing
district.
(c) Where contiguous land in
agricultural or use in one
ownership is located in more than
one taxing district, compliance
with this act shall be entered into
by the county in which the deed to
the land is located.
Section 10. Determination of
Amounts of Taxes When
Agricultural Use Abandoned. -
When land which is in
agricultural use or agricultural
reserve use and is being valued,
assessed and taxed under the
provisions of this act, is applied
to a use other than agricultural,
or agricultural reserve, it shall
be subject to additional taxes
equal to one hundred per cent of
the regular tax not paid plus
compound interest at the rate of
five per cent from the time of
change up to the ten-year com
mitment, on the amount not paid
in each of the preferentially
taxed years. Such additional
taxes shall be based on the differ
ence between the agricultural or
agricultural reserve use and the
market value on an average as
determined by the commission
In determining the amounts of
the taxes chargeable on land
which has undergone a change in
use, the assessor shall for each of
the tax years involved, ascertain
the full and fair value of such
land under the valuation stan
dard applicable to other land in
the taxing district. Prior to
change of use and tax
reevaluation whether by transfer
or sale, an environmental impact
statement must be submitted to
the commission. If it is deter
mined that change of use would
adversely affect the environment
of the area the land may not be
withdrawn from contract until
the original contract has expired
