Meeting Administrative Requirements
Annual Fee
Section 9 of the Private Managed Forest Land Act provides for the annual administration fee that is payable to Council that funds the operation of the Council and the Managed Forest Program for the year. The annual fee is based on:
- a percentage of the bare land assessed value of private managed forest land, and
- a general administration fee to distribute the cost of the program equitably among managed forest owners
The council sets the rate of the annual fee for each fiscal year, and sends out the annual fee invoices to managed forest owners in February of each year. Invoice payment is due by March 31.
