ATTENTION BUYERS OF VACANT FARMLAND:
State Use Value Conversion Charge May Apply to Your Project
Farmland converted to a non-farm use may be subject to a state "use-value conversion charge". The conversion charge applies when the land is actually converted to a residential, commercial, or manufacturing
use and the change is reflected in the tax assessment classification. In addition, land is subject to a conversion
charge if it becomes tax-exempt and its use is no longer agricultural. You can read more about how the charge is calculated HERE.
For example, the buyer of a vacant residential lot that was split off by a farm owner would be subject to the conversion charge after the new home is built and the town assesor changes the classification from ag to residential. Sellers are supposed to disclose that the conversion charge will apply, but sometimes this doesn't happen. As can be imagined, for those unaware of the fee, it can be a rude awakening to get a bill for hundreds or thousands of dollars shortly after finishing construction of a new house.
Note that this fee has been around for many years and is unrelated to the "rezone conversion fee" which the state repealed earlier this year.
For more information, contact Majid Allan at 608-267-2536, or allan@countyofdane.com.

The Dane County Housing Authority has $100,000 in federal money that can be used for deferred, interest-free down payment loans for first-time home buyers who meet income requirements and buy a house outside the city of Madison. The loans, worth up to $12,000 each, are used to ease the cost of entry into the housing market for low- to moderate-income residents who have good jobs, decent credit and a steady income, but little saved for a down payment.
You can read more about the program in this DCHA brochure.
For more information, contact Kate Sullivan at 608-224-3636, ext. 28, or ksullivan@dcha.net.
