Statute overview

About this statute

Farm and managed-forest classification requires an owner’s application and continued compliance with inspection, audit, and notice duties. The provision requires owners of managed forests land to file a progress report with the Minister in a set annual window and to notify the designated government agent about specified changes. It also sets conditions for when land stops being classified as managed forests land and gives the Administrator power to refuse approval in some cases. The Program Administrator can approve eligible land for the subclass, audit it later, and owners must cooperate and meet reconsideration deadlines. This provision sets out tribunal and assessment procedures for conservation land and managed forests land, including who hears appeals, how decisions are shared, and special rules when application deadlines were missed. These sections define how certain land assessment changes are calculated using adjustment formulas and discount factors for specific taxation years.
