What is the deadline for sending my conservation management plan to the Department of Natural Resources?
There is no deadline established in the Conservation Stewardship Law or in the rules prepared by DNR. To obtain the maximum tax benefit offered by the law, it is important that you submit your conservation management plan to DNR before valuations of land in your county are established in 2008. The time that this will happen will vary between counties, so we recommend that landowners contact their county assessor to learn when 2008 valuations will be set. We recommend that you have your conservation management plan to DNR at least 45 days before the date provided by your assessor.
