AI Summary

  • Authorizes counties to reduce Williamson Act contract terms from 10 years to 9 years (or 20 years to 18 years) when state reimbursement payments fall below 50% of actual foregone property tax revenue, effective January 1, 2011 through January 1, 2015.

  • Requires county assessors to revalue properties under shortened contracts based on the reduced term, with increased tax revenue capped at 10% of the difference between agricultural and fair market value assessments.

  • Allows landowners to prevent contract modification by serving notice of nonrenewal within 90 days of county notification, with failure to object constituting implied consent to the new terms.

  • Allocates all increased revenues generated from revalued properties exclusively to the affected county.

  • Automatically adds two years to contracts in any year when increased revenue does not occur, restoring contracts to their original 10-year or 20-year terms.
