[WSBARP] removal from open space tax status

[Craig Gourley]

Listmates, A property is in farm land  tax status and is sold.  The new owner is not going to continue the farm classification.  The agreement is silent on who pays the back taxes to change the status.  There is the language that says " assessments" due at closing are paid by seller and arguably the back tax is an assessment. Absent the issues being addressed in the agreement, any thoughts on who is required to pay?   Thanks and Happy New Year.
