Notice of Denial…!
Application disapproved…!
We can help!
Denials of
Greenbelt
applications and renewals must
be mailed by the property
appraiser no later than July 1.
The denial of all or part
of the acreage in an original
application (form DR-482) will
be recorded on the bottom of the
form, action 2 or 3.
DR-491, Notice of Denial
of Application for
Agricultural…Classification of
Lands, will be used as the
denial notice for
Greenbelt
renewals.
What do you do now?
You must make an action
decision no later than 30 days
from the postmark date on the
denial notice.
Some property appraisers
mail out denial notices prior to
July 1; i.e., your timeframe for
action may be prior to the end
of July or may have already
expired.
If after receiving the
denial notice, you are unable to
convince the property appraiser
your property is qualified for Greenbelt, and want to appeal the denial, you
must file a petition to the
Value Adjustment Board by the 30th
day following the postmark date.
The Value Adjustment
Board will determine hearing
dates later; and, you will be
notified.
If you are unsure you
want to appeal to the Board, you
must file the petition in order
to reserve your right to appeal.
You have several options for
addressing the denial.
The property
must be used primarily
for commercial
agricultural purposes to qualify
for
Greenbelt.
If the property is not
qualified and no changes in
current use are planned, you may
simply accept the denial.
You may accept
the denial for the current year
and file again next year when
your actions, activities, and
use increase and the property
will more likely comply with the
requirements.
We can assist you with
qualifying your property for
Greenbelt
classification.
You may appeal
the denial to the Value
Adjustment Board.
