approached by landowners faced with deciding whether to ^in an agriculture district as a means of lessening the tax burden which will shift from houses to land with implementation of fair market value assessment,
Currently, only C. E. Johnson Jr., owner of all the land'in the county’s only ag district, is eligible for use value taxation in 1981. If the county doesn’t enact a separate land use taxation ordinance by June 30, 1981, ag districts approved by that date will remain the only avenue of tax relief for county farmers and large landowners, according to Fletcher. He pointed out that approval of an ag district is a lengthy process and one which must be started within the next few days in order to meet the June 30 deadline. So. Fletcher said, landowners need to know immediately if they will have the alternative of a county-wide use value ordinance.
