 er,  that  after the initial grant of agricultural assessment the annual
 application shall be on a form, THROUGH PAPER OR ELECTRONIC  SUBMISSION,
 prescribed by the commissioner of taxation and finance and shall consist
 of only a certification by the landowner OR RENTER that the landowner OR
 RENTER  continues  to meet the eligibility requirements for receiving an
 agricultural assessment and seeks an  agricultural  assessment  for  the
 same  acreage  that  initially  received an agricultural assessment. The
 landowner OR RENTER shall maintain records documenting such  eligibility
 which  shall  be provided to the assessor upon request. The landowner OR
 RENTER must apply for agricultural assessment for any change in acreage,
 whether land is added or removed, after the initial  grant  of  agricul-
 tural  assessment.    Any new owner of the land who wishes to receive an
 agricultural assessment shall  make  an  initial  application  for  such
