Residential development can increase

farmers’ tax bills in two ways. First,

development can increase the demand

for land, raising its price. When the

assessed value of that land for tax

purposes is increased because of the

higher land prices, tax bills will

increase. Note, however, that assessed

values are changed only during

reassessments, which generally occur

in frequently. You would have to inform to the municipality about closure of farm shed whenever you closed. So that tax & interest burden may reduce

hi sri,

we ran the poulty farm for 3 years which is in outskirts of town, but during that period we didn't received any property tax demand notice and later after three years we removed the farm, now after 10 years served demand notice saying you have 80k due, how can we defend this with our local municipality?
