Sec. 3.

Beginning January 1, 2001, the agricultural property recapture tax provided under section 4 is imposed as provided in this section if the property meets all of the following conditions:

The property was transferred after December 31, 1999.

The taxable value of the property was not adjusted under section 27a(3) of the general property tax act, 1893 PA 206, MCL 211.27a, after the transfer described in subdivision (a) due to the provisions of section 27a(7)(n) of the general property tax act, 1893 PA 206, MCL 211.27a.

If the recapture tax remains unpaid on the March 1 in the year immediately succeeding the year in which the property is converted by a change in use, the property on which the recapture tax is due shall be returned as delinquent to the county treasurer of the county in which the property is located. Property returned as delinquent under this section, and upon which the recapture tax, interest, penalties, and fees remain unpaid after the property is returned as delinquent to the county treasurer, is subject to forfeiture, foreclosure, and sale for the enforcement and collection of the delinquent taxes as provided in sections 78 to 79a of the general property tax act, 1893 PA 206, MCL 211.78 to 211.79a.

The register of deeds shall not record an instrument transferring the property before the recapture tax is paid.
