What happens after I file my application for the farm and agricultural land classification?
Once your application and supporting documents are received with the application fee prior to December 31. The Assessor's office will then review your application and may inspect the parcel to verify accuracy. The Assessor's Office will notify the owner if the application is approved or denied for the January 1 assessment for taxes payable the following year. If the assessor fails to notify the applicants by May 1, the application is automatically considered approved (RCW 84.34.035). The owner may appeal the assessor's denial to the board of equalization. The appeal must be filed with the board on or before July 1 of the year of the determination or within 30 days after the mailing of the notice of denial.
