Present-use Value Program for Forestland http://www.ncforestservice.gov/Managing_your_forest/managing_presentuse.htm Generally speaking, all property is valued and taxed at its market value. Standing timber, pulpwood, seedlings, saplings, and other forest growth is classifed as a special class of property under the authority of the North Carolina Constitution and, as such, is excluded from taxation (Sec. 105-275(15), G.S.). Te purpose of this classifcation is to encourage proper forest management practices and to develop and maintain North Carolina’s forest resources. Forest Stewardship Plan Program http://www.ncforestservice.gov/fsandf/are_you_stewardship_material.htm To encourage the development of recognized stewardship forests, the NCFS provided cost-share assistance that subsidized the writing of forest stewardship management plans by NCFS-approved plan writers. However, due to federal budget reductions, program fund- ing was suspended during the 2012–2013 fscal year.
