summary
The Maine Tree Growth Tax Law program requires the owner of a parcel of land in the program to file with the municipal assessor, or the State Tax Assessor for land located in the unorganized territory, a sworn statement that a forest management and harvest plan has been prepared for the parcel of land.
This amendment, beginning with forest management and harvest plans prepared or updated on or after January 1, 2014, requires a landowner participating in the Maine Tree Growth Tax Law program to file a copy of the plan, instead of the sworn statement, with the municipal assessor for the municipality in which the land is located or the State Tax Assessor for property located in the unorganized territory. The plan becomes public information upon filing, except for proprietary information.
