Amends existing law to provide an appeals process for a taxpayer when an assessor has determined that a property no longer meets the criteria of forest land.
The purpose of this legislation is to protect taxpayers by establishing an appeals procedure should a county assessor believe a change to use or ownership has resulted in the loss of designation as timber land. Also, the assessor would not be allowed to provide the deferred tax amount to the county treasurer until the appeal process is completed.
