For timberland assessed based on its use value, there is also levied a "Forest Protection Tax" of $0.08 per acre.. Penalty: If a landowner obtains a use value assessment by means of false certifications on his or her application or fails to timely notify the assessor of loss of eligibility for use value, he or she shall be liable for a penalty equal to 5 times the difference between the tax under a market value assessment and the tax under a use value assessment for the tax years in which the use value assessment was attributable to the false certifications or failure to timely notify the assessor of loss of eligibility..
