The reminder came from County Assessor Clifton G.M. Kerr who noted that a state conducted property reappraisal is now underway in the county. He continued that in most cases it will result in a substantial increase in the value of land for tax purposes in 1974. To modify this increase, the legislature in 1969 passed the Farm Land Assessment act, more commonly known as the Greenbelt law. To qualify for its reductions in valuation on farm land, landowners must sign an application with the office of the county assessor before Oct. 1, 1973. "If land is owned jointly by husband and wife or other joint owners, all owners must sign the application in the presence of a notary. This application must be recorded in the office of the county recorder, Kerr explained. He disclosed that a $25 late filing fee will be charged those who sign up after Oct. i. It is necessary also that landowners bring their latest valuation or tax notices with them on all property to go under Greenbelt when they come in to make application, the assessor explained. 1973 version of the Box Elder County Aug. in Tremonton. 22-2- 5 Will be bigger and better than ever before, promises president Clifton G.M.
