AGRICULTURISTS WARNED TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR TAX STATUS 



Senate Bill #72, passed by the last legislature has been referred to as the Montana 

 Green Belt Act. This Act permits all lands actively devoted to agricultural uses to 

 be taxed on the basis of productivity rather than market value. Owners of agricul- 

 tural land must make application for this taxable status on forms available in the 

 county assessor's office. Application must be made by October 1 , 1973 . However, 

 applications will be accepted for an additional sixty days upon payment of a $25 

 late filing fee. It is extremely important that all farmers and ranchers apply for 

 classification under provisions of the Green Belt Act since the law provides that 

 only land covered by such application may be valued on the basis of productivity 

 rather than market value. Applications are now available in the county assessor's 

 office and the assessor will assist in preparation of the form.
