[WSBARP] Forest lands

Tue Oct 20 10:46:58 PDT 2020

Hi Michael,

Continuing in Forest Land designation is great to keep tax payments low,
but make sure you client knows if he or she changes the use or withdraws
from Forest Land designation in the future, the land becomes liable to pay
compensating tax. The compensating tax calculation for removal is in RCW
84.33.140

Sincerely,

Tom

In case any one is interested, the answer is: This is a typical divorce
where lot goes to other spouse, I am to just fill out reg REET and under #5
check forest land #88 , #6 check yes, clients sign in box #6 (3) and #8 and
pay $103.50 to Auditor and $10 to Treasure (most counties is split);
 auditor will take signed REET to Forest land dep assessor for signature -
in this scenario no continuance form is needed.

Call the Clallam County assessor and asked for them to send you the
documentation you need to fill out to keep property in Forest land
Designation. Then fill that out and submit it together with the excise tax
affidavit marking the box yes on the classification question.Then based on
your response they will determine whether or not the property qualifies for
continuance
