Commission submits corrected 2027 farmland valuation guides to administrative rules office

Commissioner Jennifer N. Fresquez presented the State Farmland Advisory Committee's recommendations and asked the commission to submit the guides for valuation of land subject to the Farmland Assessment Act for publication. Fresquez said the committee reviewed classifications and productive capabilities and that the proposed rule codifies standards formerly in the standards of practice.

The commission identified an error on the public agenda that listed the wrong guide year and moved to correct the record to the guides for 2027. A roll-call vote followed and the motion to submit the corrected 2027 guide to the Office of Administrative Rules for publication in the Utah State Bulletin passed unanimously. The commission noted a mandatory public comment period will follow publication (dates stated in the presentation).
