Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024
Combined transaction. Regardless of when title to the wood passes, whenever a buyer purchases stumpage from a contractor, landowner or other party and, as a part of the same transaction, that same contractor, landowner or other party (the seller) provides the services in harvesting the wood, or provides the services in both harvesting and hauling the wood,
A. Written specifications. The stumpage buyer shall furnish that contractor, landowner or other party with written cutting, or cutting and hauling, specifications in advance of performance of the services, as provided in section 4; and
B. Measurement in full. The wood shall be measured in full using the measurement procedure for gross scale for the measurement system utilized, as provided in Chapter 382, section 6, and no deductions from gross scale may be taken except as permitted in this chapter, Sections 2 and 3.
Note: Ordinarily the purchase of stumpage is not combined with payment for services and is simply a sale transaction. See Chapter 380 section 2(B) for further clarification of the purchase of stumpage or stumpage rights.
