What happens when the trees are thinned/harvested?
Taxes on harvested timber must be reported and paid to the Oregon Department of Revennue: 1. Severance Tax – Applies to the harvest of timber from any land specially assessed as STF. 2. Forest Products Harvest Tax (FPHT) – Applies to any timber harvested in Oregon, except for timber harvested from Indian reservation lands. To continue forestland special assessment, the landowner must take action to ensure that the land continues to meet the minimum stocking requirements. NOTE: Prior to harvesting, you must notify the Oregon Department of Forestry.
