ACTION ALERT!

Urgent Action is Required!
The FS Cabin Lot Appraisal Process Threatens Your Cabin with Unfairly High Permit Fees

Call, Write, Fax or Email your US Senators and Representatives

 

Tell Congress that the CABIN USER FEE FAIRNESS ACT (CUFFA) legislation passed in October, 2000 is not working AS INTENDED.

The Cabin Coalition 2, American Land Rights Association and National Forest Homeowners need your support and help to keep fees fair and preserve your family’s recreation cabin on the National Forests.
The Cabin Coalition 2 is working to show the Forest Service and Congress that cabin owners are facing ruinously high cabin lot appraisals due to CUFFA not working as intended. The first appraisals will result in extraordinarily high annual permit fees,  many over $10,000, with some as high as $15,000 to $20,000 or more!  The Forest Service interpretation of CUFFA does not allow permit restrictions to be considered in the appraised value of your cabin lot.  Most FS lots will be appraised in the next few years.  Cabin owners are talking of selling out, if they can find a buyer. 
We can’t allow the Recreation Residence Program to become a haven for only the very wealthy.

Take immediate action. Make your concerns known.  Send a strong message to your Senators and Representative that to be fair to the government and cabin owners, cabin lot appraisals must recognize the effect on value due to the large number of restrictions we must adhere to on our local forests.

Use the ideas here to write or email your own message.  Please make sure to put your letter in your own words.  If the letters are all the same, you will not get action from Congress.  They must be different.  Send your letter to your Senators and Representative today.
