Other Applicable Laws

Transfer of Forest Practices Application/Notification (WAC 222-20-010)
Use the “Notice of Transfer of Approved Forest Practices Application/Notification” form. This form is available at region
offices and on the Forest Practices website https://www.dnr.wa.gov/programs-and-services/forest-practices/review-
applications-fpars/forest-practices-forms-and. Notify DNR of new Operators within 48 hours.
Continuing Forestland Obligations (RCW 76.09.060, RCW 76.09.070, RCW 76.09.390, and WAC 222-20-055)
Obligations include reforestation, road maintenance and abandonment plans, conversions of forestland to non- forestry
use and/or harvest strategies on perennial non-fish habitat (Type Np) waters in Eastern Washington.
Before the sale or transfer of land or perpetual timber rights subject to continuing forest and obligations, the seller must
notify the buyer of such an obligation on a form titled “Notice of Continuing Forest Land Obligation”. The seller and buyer
must both sign the “Notice of Continuing Forest Land Obligation” form and send it to the DNR Region Office for retention.
This form is available at DNR region offices.
If the seller fails to notify the buyer about the continuing forestland obligation, the seller must pay the buyer’s costs related
to continuing forestland obligations, including all legal costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the buyer in
enforcing the continuing forestland obligation against the seller.
Failure by the seller to send the required notice to DNR at the time of sale will be prima facie evidence in an action by the
buyer against the seller for costs related to the continuing forestland obligation prior to sale.
