361A.270  Owner to notify assessor of cessation of agricultural or open-space use or conversion to higher use; survey of portion of parcel converted to higher use.

      1.  Within 30 days after a parcel or any portion of a parcel of real property which has received agricultural or open-space use assessment ceases to be used exclusively for agricultural use or the approved open-space use or is converted to a higher use, the owner shall notify the county assessor in writing of the date of cessation or change of that use.

      2.  In addition to the notice required by subsection 1, an owner of agriculturally assessed land who wishes to have a portion of a parcel converted to a higher use rather than the entire parcel must record and transmit to the county assessor a survey of the portion of the parcel to be converted. The survey must be transmitted to the county assessor at the same time as the notice required by subsection 1. The recordation of a survey pursuant to this subsection does not create a new parcel.

      3.  The county assessor shall keep a description of any portion of a parcel that is separately converted to a higher use and a record of the taxes paid on that portion of the parcel with the records for the parcel until the remainder of the parcel is converted to a higher use or the parcel becomes inactive.
