   18  municipality may not levy special assessments for the provision
   19  of fire protection services on lands classified as agricultural
   20  lands under s. 193.461 unless such property contains a
   21  residential dwelling or nonresidential farm building, with the
   22  exception of an agricultural pole barn, provided the
   23  nonresidential farm building exceeds a just value of $10,000.
