  9. NC Division of FOREST RESOURCES • Plan writers should make timeline for an expected harvest more specific • Provide an expected harvest date • Foresters/Rangers should stress that not all forest properties are appropriate for PUV program • lack of timely timber harvest , • or resistance to any kind of harvest

  10. WON-40 Emphasizes Key Items: 1) Your county tax officials will be reviewing landowner objectives to ensure that commercial timber production is a primary goal. 2) PUV program expectations are production-focused; therefore, sound, active management for future commercial products (timber, pulpwood, and fiber) is implied. 3) The signed application for PUV & forest management plan is viewed as an “agreement”between the landowner and county tax office, as such, landowners who fail to implement their management activities in a timely manner may risk program disqualification, deferred tax reimbursement and interest penalties.
