FLPA Audits
2
Georgia Department of Revenue
Currently, over 4-million acres in Georgia are entered in the Forest Land Conservation Use special assessment program
Reimbursement Grants are issued by the state to the local jurisdictions to offset potential tax shifts associated with this
special assessment program
2009 $10.5 million2010 $14.0 million2011 $17.7 million2012 $22.6 million2013 $27.8 million

Georgia Department of Revenue
FLPA Reimbursement Grant works like this….
If property entered into this program causes an ad valorem tax revenue reduction in a jurisdiction; the state will pay assistance grants to such jurisdiction as follows:
– 50% of the first 3% of revenue reduction– 100% of the amount of revenue reduction
over 3%4

FLPA Audit Process
Beginning in February 2012, DOR agents visited counties and obtained 2008 thru 2013 data files
– Spreadsheets were created from the data and several relevant tabs were established …..

Audit Finding #1:
Failure to record FLPA covenants in county deed records
7
Georgia Department of Revenue
O.C.G.A. 48-5-7.7 (j) (1) The FLPA statute requires that the approved covenant be filed/recorded with clerk of the superior court in the county in which the eligible property is located.• Agents will be checking for recordings• A copy of the recorded covenants may be required at Digest
Submission
8
Georgia Department of Revenue
O.C.G.A. 48-5-7.7 (j) (1) If the covenant is not so recorded in the real property records, a transferee of the property affected shall not be bound by the covenant or subject to any penalty for its breach.
9
Georgia Department of Revenue
Reg. 560-11-11-.06(a)(2)The QFLP Covenant and benefits derived therefrom shall not extend to any portion of the tract for which the QFLP Covenant has not yet been signed and recorded in that county’s real property index.
10
Georgia Department of Revenue
Audit Finding #2:Failure to accurately calculate 2008 Base Value (F-code) as a result of splits or combinations that changed the parcels as they existed on the 2008 digest.
Counties must go back to 2008 and calculate the 2008 base value using 2008 base value-per-acre.
11
Georgia Department of Revenue
BOA must track ‘3’ separate values for properties entered in FLPA covenants
1. Fair Market Value (J-code on digest)• True-Blue old fashioned FMV (three value approaches)
2. Forest Land Conservation Use Value (FLCUV)• Woodland values (DOR Table of Value Regulations)
3. Forest Land Fair Market Value (F-code on digest)• 2008 FMV (adjusted by economic indicator)
12
Georgia Department of Revenue
Forest Land Fair Market Valueaka…F-Codeaka…2008 Base Value
…used ‘only’ in the calculation of the Reimbursement Grants issued to the local jurisdictions
…does not directly affect the property owner’s assessment or tax bill
…and this is the value referred to in Audit Finding #2 which is often incorrectly calculated
13
Georgia Department of Revenue
First…the difference between the Forest Land Fair Market Value (F-code) and the Forest Land Conservation Use Value (FLCUV) is calculated:
2008 Base Value + economic indicator (F-Code on the Digest) − Current Use Woodland Value from DOR Table of Values regulation = Total Digest Value Loss due to FLPA
Then … the ‘Total Digest Value Loss due to FLPA’ is compared to the Net Digest absent FLPA to establish the 3% threshold…
To determine the Revenue Reduction attributable to FLPA….
14
Georgia Department of Revenue
Agents must verify “F” values (2008 Base Value) including the associated index adjustments
15
Georgia Department of Revenue
Let’s look at a few examples….
16
Georgia Department of Revenue
“F” value example #11,000 ac parcel in 2008; entered in FLPA in 2009
– $1,991,200 value for 2008 digest after appeal
– 2008BaseValue would be $1,991,200 for 2009 Covenant
17
Georgia Department of Revenue
“F” value example #2Parcel 047-058 in 2008 included 406.77 acres• $2,496,300 / 406.77= 6,137 per acre in 2008Split for 2009 to 348.28 acres and applied for FLPA• 2008Base Value for 2009 covenant
– 348.28 acres * $6,137= $2,137,394 2008BaseValue
18
Georgia Department of Revenue
“F” value example #3Property entered in FLPA Covenant in 2009 included three contiguous parcels for 2008; which were combined into one tract for 2009
• 047-100 (20 acres) (2008 value = $50,000)• 047-101 (100 acres) (2008 value = $100,000)• 047-102 (100 acres) (2008 value = $100,000)
2008 base value would be $250,000 for newly combined 220 acre property covenanted in 2009
19
Georgia Department of Revenue
“F” value example #4210 acres entered in 2009 FLPA Covenant included three contiguous 2008 parcels that were combined for 2009. Prior to entering the FLPA covenant, the taxpayer sold 10 acres.
– 047-100 (20 acres) (2008 value = $50,000)– 047-101 (100 acres) (2008 value = $100,000)– 047-102 (100 acres) (2008 value = $100,000)
2008 base value equals $238,560 for the 210 acre tract.
$250,000 / 220 acres = 1136 per acre210 acres * 1136 per acre = $238,560
20
Georgia Department of Revenue
“F” value example #5Property entered in 2009 FLPA covenant included three separate contiguous parcels in 2008 which were entered in one covenant but were maintained as separate tracts in tax records.(shown as 3 separate parcels with the same FLAPPNUM)
• 047-100 (20 acres) (2008 $50,000) 2009-147-000009• 047-101 (100 acres) (2008 $100,000) 2009-147-000009• 047-102 (100 acres) (2008 $100,000) 2009-147-000009
If covenanted as separate parcels in one FLPA Covenant then the 2008 base value would be the corresponding value for each parcel from 2008 digest.
21
Georgia Department of Revenue
Audit Finding #3:Failure to accurately apply the ‘US economic index’ to the 2008 Base Value; including:
Failure to applyFailure to obtain BOA approval Failure to uniformly apply index to all parcels in a year
22
Georgia Department of Revenue
Such 2008 valuation (Forest Land Fair Market Value) may increase from one taxable year to the next by a rate equal to the percentage change in the price index for gross output of state and local government from the prior year to the current year as defined by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis and indicated by the Price Index for Government Consumption Expenditures and General Government Gross Output (Table 3.10.4)
23
Georgia Department of Revenue
DOR annually publishes the index referenced in statute as the “US Bureau of Economic Analysis and indicated by the Price Index for Government Consumption Expenditures and General Government Gross Output (Table 3.10.4)”
2009 Index ……….. none2010 Index ……….. 0.9992011 Index ……….. 1.0262012 Index ……….. 1.0632013 Index ……….. 1.0852014 Index ……….. 1.085
24
Georgia Department of Revenue
Audit Finding #4:Failure to delineate each soil type for each parcel when establishing the FLPA Current Use Value and instead, in some cases, basing such value on the predominate soil productivity
Agents are verifying the process the county uses to assign soil productivity and instructing the counties to follow GA law and regulations
25

Forest Land Conservation Use Values
48-5-271. Table of values for conservation use value of forest land.
(a) The commissioner shall promulgate and county tax officials shall follow uniform rules and regulations establishing a table of values for the conservation use value of forest land conservation use property. Such values shall be the same as provided for forest land values under Code Section 48-5-269.
All FLPA covenants use value should be applied based on the soil productivity for Woodland class soils.

Such values shall be the same as provided for forest land in 48-5-269
Table of values limited to 3% change per year28
Georgia Department of Revenue
Failure to adhere to the 3% limit on increases for Forest Land Conservation Use values from one year to the next; including failure to apply new table of values for the year; and failure to ignore the 3% limit when a split occurs to the property.
Audit Finding #6:
29
Georgia Department of Revenue
Forest Land Conservation Use ValuesFLPA Use values for 2012 should have only increased 3% from the 2009, 2010, and 2011 Moratorium Use Value.
FLPA Use Values are compared for each digest year and to see if Moratorium was held on Use values for 2009, 2010, 2011.
Agents compare the FLPA table of values to the Soil Productivities used by the counties

Statutory Requirements
Registry assists the county in measuring acreage limitaiton for conservation use (48-5-7.4)
– Each owner of conservation use is allowed up to 2000 acres in conservation use statewide
(FLPA has no acre limitations)37
Georgia Department of Revenue
Covenant Registry• Standardized layout for all 159 counties.• Data must be included with annual Digest
Submission• DOR emailed each county an addendum to
the 2014 digest submission package alerting you of this requirement – we didn’t want you to submit it then – submit with digest
38
Georgia Department of Revenue
Covenant Registry• Data layouts in 2013 had some inconsistency
(some asked for Class/Strat and shouldn’t have) … layouts made uniform for 2014
• Data submitted by county is presented in registry as-is (no edits other than removal of commas in names and addresses and multiple owner fields)
39
Georgia Department of Revenue
Covenant Registry• County Name• Digest Year• Parcel Number• Total Acres• Covenant Acres• Lastname• Firstname• Middle
• Address1• Address2• Address3• City• State• Zip• Multiple Owners• CCY• FLCY
40
Georgia Department of Revenue
Covenant Registry
The impact and usefulness of the registry will be greatly enhanced when the county takes the extra step to include the owner names and percentage ownership in each covenant where owned by multiple owners.
41
Georgia Department of Revenue
Covenant Registry• Some CAMA systems do not separate names into
three columns (Last, First, Middle), in those instances, the entire name will be found in the LASTNAME column
• Some CAMA systems contain commas (they should not per USPS regulations), those have been removed from the registry
• File is too large to email, must be downloaded

HB463IRP Distribution
52
Georgia Department of Revenue
What is IRP?The International Registration Plan is a special agreement between member-states for registering vehicles that must travel between two (2) or more member-states.
In the past, ad valorem tax was paid directly to the GA county where the vehicle was based; and once paid, the owner could make application to DOR to obtain multi-state registration.
Now there’s a one-stop-shop…..
53
Georgia Department of Revenue
Amended the way in which IRP vehicles are assessed and taxed for ad valorem purpose;
The vehicle owner pays an ALTERNATIVE tax to DOR and obtains the multi-state registration at the same time
DOR will distribute the ALTERNATIVE ad valorem tax based on the percentage of tax collected by each taxing authority as compared to statewide total.
HB463 – passed in 2013 session
54
Georgia Department of Revenue
How does that affect the digest?
Since the net digest of each jurisdiction is the basis for distribution of the tax…..
….assessors and tax commissioners must take special care to produce city tax digest consolidation sheets…with accurate homestead and freeport exemption amounts applicable to CITY EXEMPTIONS.
