42.20.610    CLASSIFICATION OF EASEMENTS ON AGRICULTURAL LAND

(1) Road, irrigation ditch, or power line easements that do not transfer title to such rights-of-way are taxable and will be classified as adjoining agricultural land.

(2) A deeded right-of-way that is conveyed through a deed or other instrument, from a private owner to a government agency or other tax-exempt entity is not taxable and the acreage is deducted from the ownership. If the deeded right-of-way splits two or more ownerships, such as along a deeded county road, the department will deduct proportional amounts of acreage from each ownership. A record of the conveyance must be available in the local county clerk and recorder's office.
