 56 16 instrument, or writing is executed and tendered for recording

 56 18 no tax.
 56 19    (2)  When there is consideration and the actual market value
 56 20 of the real property transferred is in excess of five hundred
 56 21 dollars, the tax is eighty cents for each five hundred dollars
 56 22 or fractional part of five hundred dollars in excess of five

 57 23 address of the buyer, the name and address of the seller, a
 57 24 legal description of the agricultural land, and identify the
 57 25 buyer as a corporation, limited partnership, trust, alien, or
 57 26 nonresident alien. The county recorder shall not record the
 57 27 declaration of value, but shall enter on the declaration of
 57 28 value information the director of revenue requires for the
 57 29 production of the sales/assessment ratio study and transmit
 57 30 all declarations of value to the city or county assessor in
 57 31 whose jurisdiction the property is located. The city or

 58  2 retain one copy of each declaration of value for three years
 58  3 from December 31 of the year in which the transfer of realty
 58  4 for which the declaration was filed took place. The director
 58  5 of revenue shall, upon receipt of the information required to
 58  6 be filed under this chapter by the city or county assessor,
 58  7 send to the office of the secretary of state that part of the
 58  8 declaration of value which identifies a corporation, limited
