(2) Application shall be made to the county assessor on forms prepared by the Department of Revenue and supplied by the county assessor.
(3) Applications for wildlife habitat special assessment shall be made to the county assessor on or before April 1 of the first assessment year for which the assessment is desired. The application shall include:
(a) A copy of the wildlife habitat conservation and management plan.
(b) A certified copy of the declaration described in ORS 308A.412 (3).
(c) A description of the land that is the subject of the application that is sufficient for the county assessor to determine whether the land for which wildlife habitat special assessment is sought is within an area eligible for wildlife habitat special assessment.
(d) A statement that the applicant is aware of the potential tax liability that arises under ORS 308A.703 upon disqualification from wildlife habitat special assessment.
(e) An affirmation that the statements contained in the application are true.
(4) An application to the county assessor shall be deemed approved unless, before August 15 of the year in which the application was filed, the assessor notifies the applicant in writing that the application has been wholly or partially denied.
(5) Whether land that is subject to a wildlife habitat conservation and management plan qualifies for special assessment under this section shall be determined as of January 1 of the assessment year. If land so qualified becomes disqualified prior to July 1 of the same assessment year, the land shall be valued under ORS 308.232 at its real market value as defined by law without regard to this section and shall be assessed at its assessed value under ORS 308.146 or as otherwise provided by law. If the land becomes disqualified on or after July 1, the land shall continue to qualify for special assessment as provided in this section for the current tax year. [2003 c.539 §8]
