646964 determined according to the following procedures:
647965 1. The Ad Valorem Division of the Tax Commission is hereby
648966 directed to develop a standard system of valuation of both real and
649967 personal property of such facilities, which shall be used by all
650968 county assessors in this state, under which valuation based on the
651969 following shall be presumed to be the fair cash value of the
652970 property:
653971 a. for real property, a ten -year depreciation schedule,
654972 at the end of which the residual value is twenty
655973 percent (20%) of the value of the facility during its
656974 first year of operation, and
657975 b. for personal property, a five -year depreciation
658976 schedule, at the end of which the residual value is
659977 zero;
660978 2. Such facilities shall be valued only in comparison to other
661979 facilities used exclusively for poultry production. Such a facility
662980 which is no longer used for poultry production shall be deemed to
663981 have no productive use;
664982 3. During the first year such a facility is placed on the tax
665983 rolls, its fair cash value shall be pres umed to be the lesser of the

7041046 such oil refinery if such property would qualify as exempt property
7051047 pursuant to Section 2902 of this title, whet her or not an

7461112 building on such lot shall not be deemed to be a bona fide purchaser
7471113 for purposes of this section. However, if the lot is held for a
7481114 period longer than two (2) years before construction, then the
7491115 assessor may consider the lot to have been conveyed to a bona fide

7611127 change in the actual use or classification of the property; or
7621128 2. That by reason of the amount of the sales consideration it
7631129 is obvious that the use classification prior to the transfer of the
7641130 property is not commensurate with and would not justify the amount
7651131 of the sales consideration of the property;
7661132 then the assessor shall, in either event, reassess the property for
7671133 the new use classific ation for which the property is being used, or ,
