Working Lands
Initiative
Beginning
on January 1, 2010, a person who requests rezoning of their land from a
certified farmland preservation district to another use must pay to the
local government, a conversion fee equal to the greater
of the following for each rezoned acre or
portion of an acre:
-
Three times the per acre value, for the year in which the land is
rezoned, of the highest value category of tillable cropland in the
city, village, or town in which the rezoned land is located, as
specified by the Department of Revenue at http://www.revenue.wi.gov/report/a.html, or
-
An amount specified in the certified farmland preservation zoning
ordinance.
The local government must collect this conversion fee. Conversion fees of
three times the per acre value of the highest value of tillable cropland
must be provided to DATCP by March 1 of each year. If the local government
collects an amount greater than the three times per acres value, they may
use the extra amount for costs related to the farmland preservation
program. Local governments must collect conversion fees beginning January
1, 2010. Fees collected in 2010 will need to be provided to the
state by March 1, 2011. Forms
designed to aid local government in recording rezoning requests and
collecting the conversion fee and to aid local governments in March
reporting of conversion fees to the department will be posted as soon as
they are developed.
