(2)(a) Every three years, or more frequently if requested in writing by the county assessor, the holder shall provide written certification to the county assessor that the land is being managed in accordance with the terms of the conservation easement to which the land is subject and that the conservation easement continues to meet the requirements of ORS 308A.453 (2)(a).
