Agricultural Assessment Written Lease
Affidavit for Rented Land
Instructions: Agricultural land which has been used as a single operation for the production of crops, livestock, or livestock products
during the preceding two years but whose production does not independently satisfy the average gross sales requirement of Agriculture
and Markets Law Article 25AA may nevertheless qualify for an agricultural assessment if the land is rented to another party for a
minimum of five years for use in conjunction with other land which qualifies for an agricultural assessment. If the renting party does not
receive an agricultural assessment, page 2 of this form is necessary to certify to the assessor that the lessee’s land would qualify for
an agricultural assessment. A copy of the relevant written lease or this affidavit attesting to the existence of the written lease must be
attached to the application for an agricultural assessment (Form RP-305, Agricultural Assessment Application, or RP-305-r, Agricultural
Assessment Renewal Certification). Applicants should file this affidavit only if they have completed all of Form RP-305, Part 8.
