When should I file my agricultural exemption?
Agricultural exemptions can be filed at any
time of the year but are due for the current year of filing by March 1.
If you know you will be filing for an agricultural exemption on property in
Dutchess County, you will need to contact the Dutchess County Soil and Water
Conservation District office for a Soil Group worksheet. These
worksheets are done in our office on the computer and are completed as
rapidly as possible. Please allow at least 1-2 weeks for your
worksheet to be completed.
How
do I contact the District office?
We can be reached by phone at 677-8011, ext
3. We can no longer accept faxed requests due to our new policy of
payment must be made with request. Mail it or come by and see us at
2715 Route 44, Suite 3, Farm and Home Center, Millbrook, NY 12545.
Does
the District office file the worksheet?
No. We do not
file these worksheets with the assessor. That is up to the landowner
or their agent. The worksheets require a landowner signature and the
signature of the preparer. We sign them as the preparer and will mail
them to you if requested to do so. Otherwise, our policy is to call
you when the worksheet is done and you may pick it up in our office.
Payment is expected at the time of the request.
Can
I pick it up on Saturday?
No. Our office hours are
Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
What is the fee for the worksheet?
Currently, our fee is
$40.00 per parcel. This is subject to change, so please verify your
bill with us before you write your check.
Can
I pay by credit card?
No. We do not
have a way of processing credit cards.
Is
that all there is to filing for an agricultural exemption?
You will need to have a
form known as RP-305 if you are filing for the first time or a 305R if you
are renewing your ag exemption. You must turn in this form each time
you apply for your ag exemption. You can get this form from your
town’s assessor or it can be downloaded from the web. For more
