the 2 following methods shall be used:
(1) The land owner shall provide site quality,
location and grade information to the local assessors to support an appeal of
the assessment, indicating that:
a. The grade, as defined in Cub 304.05(a), (2),
of the land has either a positive or negative effect upon the costs of timber
harvesting;
b. The effect upon the accessibility of the land
due to location, as defined in Cub 304.05(a),(3), of the land has either a
positive or negative effect upon the accessibility of the land; and
c. Site quality, as defined in Cub 304.05(a)(4),
if the land has a positive or negative effect upon the capacity of the land to
produce wood; or

engage a forester to determine the site quality, location and grade of the
land.
(b) When a land
owner provides the information listed in Cub 304.11(a), above for a parcel of
forest land, the local assessing officials shall consider that information in
accordance with the following factors to determine the placement of that land
within the forest land assessment ranges:

quality has an increased capacity to produce wood, and the assessed value shall
decrease as site quality has a decreased capacity;
(2) The assessed value shall increase as the
