Mich. Admin. Code R. 299.2601 - Application requirements for listing land; "act" defined
Rule 1.
(1) An
application for listing land must be on a form prescribed by the department. An
application must be under oath, signed, dated, notarized, and postmarked no
later than April 1 to be considered for listing in the following tax year. An
application signed, dated, notarized, or postmarked after April 1 must be
returned to the applicant.
(2) An
application must be prepared for each county covering all land in that county
for which listing is desired. The application fee required by section 51103 of
the act, MCL
324.51103, must be calculated
based on the total acreage applied for in each application.
(3) Land applied for must be considered for
listing as it is currently and legally described by deed or land contract and
on ad valorem assessment and tax rolls. If the applicant is a land contract
vendee, or buyer, the land contract must state that the vendee owns all of the
timber rights to all land under contract. The application must include a copy
of the deed or land contract.
(4)
An application must fully describe each tract and include all of the following
information:
(a) County name.
(b) Political township.
(c) Town, range, section, and section
subdivision.
(d) Property tax
parcel number or numbers.
(e) A
certified survey in accordance with section 1 of 1970 PA 132, MCL
54.211, if the department
determines it is necessary to determine eligibility.
(f) Total acreage, including rights-of-way
covered by easements. Total acreage must not include rights-of-way deeded to
others or tracts owned by others.
(5) An application for listing must include a
copy of the applicant's forest management plan for the land applied for
listing.
(6) If any interest in the
title to land that the application for listing has been made is transferred
between the application submission date and the subsequent December 31, the
applicant shall notify the department in writing immediately at the time of the
transfer of title. Land no longer owned by the applicant and other application
parcels that become ineligible due to the transfer of title must be denied
listing. If the land has already been approved for listing when notice of the
transfer of title is received, the department shall deny the listing.
(7) As used in these rules, "act" means part
511 of the natural resources and environmental protection act, 1994 PA 451, MCL
324.51101 to
324.51120.
