Buying or selling forested land? Take Note!
Properties that are sold are removed from the MFTIP by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). A new landowner must apply to the program within 90 days of the sale to keep the property in the program.
The Managed Forest Plan is the property of the landowner who had it prepared.
The Forest Plan Approver and Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (the agency that administers the MFTIP program) are not able to provide copies without permission from the landowner.
Sellers: leverage your forest asset by telling your real estate agent your property is in the MFTIP.
Buyers: know your municipal tax rate by determining if a property is in the MFTIP by contacting Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) or ask your realtor.
