At the town officials discretion applications may be accepted after that time,
but no applications will be accepted after the commissioner has approved the
local tax rate for that year.
Town assessing officials will notify the applicant by JULY 1st of
their decision to enroll the parcel into current use or of the denial of the
application, with the reasons for denial.
A filing fee is paid at the time of application for recording the Notice of
Contingent Lien at the Registry of Deeds. IF THE APPLICATION FOR ENROLLMENT
IS DENIED THE FILING FEE IS REFUNDED TO THE APPLICANT. If accepted, the Notice
of Contingent Lien is recorded in the Registry of Deeds by AUGUST 1st.
The Notice of Contingent Lien constitutes notice to all interested
parties of the lien created upon acceptance into current use. Should the land
be removed from current use, when the LAND USE CHANGE TAX is paid, a form A-5
is recorded in the Registry of Deeds and is notice that the lien created at the
time the land was enrolled in current use has been satisfied and released.
