SB 671 California Senate · 2009-2010 Regular Session

Agricultural land: valuation.

Summary
Existing law requires the county assessor to assess current fair market valuations to determine the cancellation fee for removing land from a Williamson Act contract. Existing law permits the Department of Conservation or the landowner, if either believes that the current fair market valuations are inaccurate, to request formal review from the county assessor in the county considering the cancellation petition and authorizes the assessor to recover his or her reasonable costs of the formal review from the party requesting the review, as specified. This bill would authorize the assessor to require a deposit from the landowner to cover the contingency that payment of a cancellation fee will not necessarily result from the completion of a formal review, as specified.
