WITHDRAWAL OF LAND FROM DISTRICT OF LOCAL SIGNIFICANCE (§ 15.2-4407)

A. At any time after the creation of an agricultural, forestal, or an
agricultural and forestal district of local significance within Fairfax County,
any owner of land lying in such district may file a written notice of withdrawal
with the local governing body which created the district, and upon the filing of
such notice, the withdrawal shall be effective. In no way shall this section
affect the ability of an owner to withdraw his land from a proposed district as
is authorized by subsection C of § 15.2-4405.

B. Any person withdrawing land from a district located in the Counties of
Albemarle, Augusta, Hanover, James City, Loudoun, Prince William, Roanoke, and
Rockingham shall follow the withdrawal procedures required by § 15.2-4314.

C. Upon withdrawal of land from a district, the real estate previously included
in such district shall be subject to roll-back taxes, as are provided in §
58.1-3237, and also a penalty in the amount equal to two times the taxes
determined in the year following the withdrawal from the district on all land
previously within the district.

D. Upon withdrawal of land from a district no provisions of the ordinance which
created the district shall any longer apply to the lands previously in the
district which were withdrawn.

E. The withdrawal of land from a district shall not itself serve to terminate
the existence of the district. Such district shall continue in effect and be
subject to review as to whether it should be terminated, modified or continued
pursuant to § 15.2-4405.
