1. 
Organized areas. 
The 
municipal 
assessors 
or 
chief 
assessor of a primary assessing area shall adjust the State Tax 
Assessor's 100% valuation per acre for each forest type of their 
county by whatever ratio, or percentage of current just value, is 
applied to other property within the municipality to obtain the 
assessed values. 
Forest land in the organized areas, subject to 
taxation under this subchapter, must be taxed at the property tax 
rate applicable to other property in the municipality.

The State Tax Assessor shall determine annually the amount of 
acreage in each municipality that is classified and taxed in 
accordance 
with this 
subchapter. 
Each 
such municipality is 
entitled to 
annual 
payments 
from 
money 
appropriated 
by 
the 
Legislature if it submits an annual return in accordance with 
section 383 and if it achieves the appropriate minimum assessment 
ratio described in section 327. 
The State Tax Assessor shall pay 
any municipal claim found to be in satisfactory form by August 
1st of the year following the submission of the annual return. 
The per acre reimbursement is 90°" of the per acre tax revenue 
lost as 
a 
result of this subchapter. 
For purposes of this 
section, the tax lost is the tax that would have been assessed, 
but for this subchapter, on the classified forest lands if they 
were assessed according to the undeveloped acreage valuations 
used in the state valuation then in effect, or according to the 
current local valuation on 
undeveloped acreage, 
whichever 
is 
less, minus the tax that was actually assessed on the same lands 
in accordance with this subchapter. 
A municipality that fails to 
achieve the minimum assessment ratio established in section 327 
loses 10% of the reimbursement provided by this section for each 
one percentage point the minimum assessment ratio falls below the 
ratio established in section 327. 
No municipality may receive a 
reimbursement payment under this 
section that would exceed an amount determined by calculating the 
tree growth tax loss less the municipal savings in educational 
costs attributable to reduced state valuation. 
A. 
The tree growth tax loss is the adjusted tax that would 
have 
been 
assessed,

subchapter,

with 
this 
In 
determining 
the 
adjusted 
tax 
that 
would 
have 
been 
assessed, the tax rate to be used is computed by adding the 
additional school support required by the modified state 
valuation attributable to the increased valuation of forest 
land to the original tax committed and dividing this sum by 
the modified total municipal valuation. 
The adjusted tax 
rate is then applied to the valuation of forest land based 
on 
the 
undeveloped 
acreage 
valuations, 
adjusted 
by 
the 
certified ratio, to determine the adjusted tax. 
B. 
The municipal savings in educational costs is 
by multiplying the school subsidy index by the 
state valuation attributable to the use of the 
determined in accordance with this subchapter on 
forest 
lands 
rather 
than 
their 
valuation
