(2) If a property is voluntarily disqualified from special assessment, the owner may file a new application and election form with the county assessor, on or before April 1 of any assessment year within 10 years immediately following the first tax year the property was first qualified for special assessment. If the application is approved, the property will be specially assessed for the next tax year.

(3) If a property has been voluntarily disqualified from special assessment, the property can qualify only one more time for special assessment. This subsequent qualification must occur within the 10 year period following the first tax year the property was first qualified for special assessment.
