SUMMARY

The amendment clarifies that if a lienholder requests notification for land classified under the Maine Tree Growth Tax Law at the same time the landowner is notified of the need to provide information about a forest management and harvest plan, the notification requirements apply to both the landowner and lienholder rather than one or the other as stated in the bill. It also requires the lienholder to reimburse the municipality or assessor providing the notification for all expenses associated with the service.
