Each application for classification and reclassification as open space land shall include authorization for the County Assessor or the Director of the Department of Community Development, or their designee, to periodically enter and inspect the subject land, in order to determine if the subject land is in compliance with all terms and conditions of the current use classification.

Parcels of land which have been approved for current use classification, but which are found to be in violation of any term or condition of its current use classification, shall be removed from the current use classification pursuant to Chapter 84.34 RCW. Parcels of land classified as open space land may be removed from such classification if land use activities result in ground or surface water quality falling below water quality standards pursuant to Chapters 173-200 and 173-201A WAC.

Parcels of land removed from current use classification shall be subject to all penalties set forth in Chapter 84.34 RCW, including the compensation tax pursuant to RCW 84.34.108.

Within 30 days after such removal, the Assessor shall notify the owner in writing, setting forth the reasons for such removal. The seller, transferor or owner may appeal such removal to the County Board of Equalization.
