Are any withdrawals from the FCL program exempt from a withdrawal tax?
There is one situation in which withdrawal from the FCL program is exempt from a withdrawal tax: land sold to the federal, state, or local government for use as a public road, railroad, utility right-of-way, park, recreational trail, wildlife or fish habitat area, or a public forest. The new owner of the land must file a Declaration of Withdrawal Exempt form to withdraw land sold for these purposes.
