07-09-13: ENROLLMENT DURATION:

Per Idaho State code, lands designated as an APA will remain so designated for a period of twenty (20) years. A landowner wishing to end an approved APA designation must notify the Board of County commissioners in writing of their desire not to renew the land's APA designation before their land designation expires. Removal will occur upon the expiration of the current twenty (20) year designation period or ten (10) years from the written request for removal, whichever is sooner. Failure of the landowner to request removal, will result in the APA designation automatically renewing for another twenty (20) years. The clerk of the board of county commissioners shall record the renewal of an agricultural protection area pursuant to Idaho Code Section 67-9707.

As a courtesy, Canyon County DSD may send written notice approximately fifteen (15) months prior to the deadline for automatic renewal as a reminder of the date. Failure of DSD to send notice or a landowner's claim of not receiving notice from DSD will not be a defense to the automatic renewal under Idaho Code 67-9708. (Ord. 25-006, 4-18-2025)
