Ohio timber theft law
Ohio Revised Code 901.51 defines destruction of crops and timber as a fourth-degree misdemeanor and anyone convicted of it will pay a fine to the state, and treble damages to the landowner. If you or someone you know has become a victim of timber theft we recommend Mount Vernon attorney Scott Pullins — an expert in timber theft and trespass law.
Ohio forest tax law
Any parcel of land that is 10 acres or more in size, and officially designated as forest land by the state forester, may qualify for a 50% property tax reduction on the forested portion.
The Ohio Forest Tax Law, managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry, under the Ohio Revised Code and Administrative Code, requires participating landowners to manage their forest property for commercial timber and other forest products. They must also comply with all applicable rules and regulations in return for this tax benefit.
To learn more about the Ohio Forest Tax Law, you can reach out to the Division of Forestry in Columbus or contact your local service forester. A full directory of service foresters is available on the Division’s website here: Ohio’s Forest Property Tax Laws
