SB 5230: Current use taxation

Revising current use taxation provisions.

Summary

  • Back taxes do not have to be paid for forest land that is removed from classification or designation if official action disallows the present use of the land. In King County, an exception to the payment of back taxes is allowed for a sale or transfer to a governmental entity or nonprofit historic preservation or nonprofit nature conservancy corporation for the purpose of conserving open space land.
