City approved
The U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Devel-
opment has announced that the
City of Shelton has been
accepted into the National
Hood Insurance Program.
This means, said Acting
Federal Insurance Admin-
istrator J. Robert Hunter, that
individual property owners here
are now eligible to buy flood
insurance protection at af-
fordable federally-subsidized
rates, offering more extensive
coverage under the expanded
program authorized by the 1973
Flood Disaster Protection Act.
"Since flood insurance is
now available," he added, "the
law requires that it must be
purchased by owners of
property in areas identified as
flood-prone by HUD, in order to
be eligible for virtually all forms
of federal or federally-related
financial assistance for building
purposes in those areas.
"This would include FHA or
VA mortgages, loans from the
Small Business Administration,
or loans from any federally-
regulated or supervised banks
and savings and loan in-
stitutions.
Harvesters of Christmas
trees cut from non-cultivated
land are subject to payment of
excise taxes under the Forest
Taxation Act, just as har-
vesters of privately-owned
commercial timber are.
They also are required to
keep records including the legal
description of the land from
which the trees were harvested,
and lineal footage-of their
harvest by species. The data is
needed for audit use by the
Department of Revenue.
The tax on Christmas trees
harvested from non-cultivated
land in 1975 will be due in
January, 1976.
The taxable value of
Douglas fir Christmas trees in
western Washington is com-
puted at 9 cents a lineal foot.
This value times the excise tax
rate of 6.5 percent gives the
amount of tax due. For a
hundred six-foot trees the tax
would be $3.51.
The tax valuation of true fir
and other species in western
Washington, such as Scotch
and western white pine, is
based on 26 cents a lineal foot.

Christmas trees grown on
cultivated land are assessed as
property and taxed annually by
the county in which they are
located. The exemption is set
forth in 84.33.170 RCW, which
reads in part:
"... Christmas trees which
are grown on land which has
been prepared by intensive
cultivation and tilling, such as
by plowing or turning over the
soil, and on which all unwanted
plant growth is controlled
continuously for the exclusive
purpose of raising such
Christmas trees, and such land
on which such Christmas trees
stand, shall not be taxed (under
the forest excise tax laws.)"
An exemption from the state
excise tax also applies to
Christmas trees harvested from
land classified under the 1932
Reforestation Act. They are
taxed at the time of harvest by
the county in which they are
located.
