The Michigan Es 012 form serves as a critical document for property owners involved in the Farmland and Open Space Preservation Program, indicating an intention to terminate a Farmland Development Rights Agreement as per Part 361 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 Act 451, also known as P.A. 116. This form requires comprehensive information from the applicant, including personal details, property location, and legal information, such as the attachment of a deed or land contract, and the most recent property tax assessment notice or tax bill. Additionally, applicants must clarify if there is a tax lien against the land and provide details if the land is being purchased under a land contract, ensuring the vendor's agreement to release the land from the program. Corporations or other entities owning the land must list their principal officers or income beneficiaries. The form also asks for detailed reasons for the requested withdrawal from the program, supported by documentation and a map of the property highlighting relevant features. Communication from local governing bodies and required signatures are crucial parts of the process, emphasizing the importance of thorough and accurate completion of the form to facilitate the termination of the agreement.
