EXPEDITED RULES
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Amending WAC 458-30-262 Agricultural land valuation -- Interest
rate -- Property tax component.
THIS RULE IS BEING PROPOSED UNDER AN EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE AGENCY TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS, PREPARE A SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT, OR PROVIDE RESPONSES TO THE CRITERIA FOR A SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATIVE RULE. IF YOU OBJECT TO THIS USE OF THE EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS, YOU MUST EXPRESS YOUR OBJECTIONS IN WRITING AND THEY MUST BE SENT TO Jim Winterstein, Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 47467, Olympia, WA 98504-7467, e-mail JimW@dor.wa.gov , AND RECEIVED BY April 5, 2010.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The purpose of this rule is to provide county assessors with the rate of interest and property tax component used in valuing farm and agricultural land classified under chapter 84.34 RCW (the open space program).
This rule was recently amended to provide the information for assessment year 2010 (WSR 10-02-025). This amendment did not, however, correctly identify 2010 as the assessment year to which the values apply. The department is proposing to amend this rule to correct this oversight. There is no change to the rate of interest and property tax component values.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: This change is needed to clarify that the values in the rule apply to the 2010 assessment year.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 84.34.065 and 84.34.141.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 84.34.065.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
