Forest Agriculture
In 1990, the Colorado legislature
enacted House Bill 1229 which allows certain forest
lands similar tax valuation as that of traditional
agricultural lands. Currently the Steamboat Springs
District has 42 properties totaling 4,600 acres
in the Forest Ag program.
To qualify for this program the
landowner must:
-
Own at least 40 forested
acres.
-
Have a forest management
plan that meets CSFS Management Plan Outline
for Forest Agriculture Classification standards.
-
Submit a completed and signed
forest management plan, a completed Forest
Agriculture Inspection Request, and appropriate
fee to the local CSFS district office by October
1st to be considered for the following tax
year.
-
Manage their land according
to the approved Forest Management Plan and
Annual Work Plan to produce tangible wood
products for the primary purpose of obtaining
a monetary profit.
