Agricultural Tax Plans


Agricultural Tax Plans


In 1990, the Colorado state legislature enacted House Bill 1229, which states that certain forest lands can receive a tax valuation status similar to traditional agricultural lands. The Colorado State Forest Service administers this program and refers to it as the “Forest Ag” program. Landowners may enroll if they have 40 acres or more of forest land and have an approved forest management plan prepared by a professional forester that meets Colorado State Forest Service standards. As qualified professional foresters, DES can provide you with the approved forest management plan and help you enroll in the program. This program is intended to reward private landowners who actively manage their land to produce tangible wood products. Benefits of the program include, cost savings from the tax change, sustainable long term forest health, improved wildlife habitat, insect and disease prevention and wildfire mitigation. Often, the cost of preparing the plan will be paid for by the tax savings earned in the first year.
