CONSERVATION EASEMENTS PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT FLEXIBILITY
An easement imposed on real property containing uncommon wildlife habitat may impose restrictions on development, while one granted on agricultural land may permit ongoing farming activities and the construction of agricultural structures. Conservation easements can be tailored to apply to specific portions of the property and are not obligated to provide public access. Establishing a conservation easement offers various flexible options. Non-profit entities such as land trusts or other public agencies are typically engaged in negotiating and enforcing these restrictions.
Upon donation of a qualified conservation easement, a landowner may be eligible to claim an income tax deduction based on the appraised value of the surrendered rights. The decrease in the property's value associated with the easement may also result in reduced estate and gift taxes, facilitating the transmission of the property to successive generations. The determination of these values can be carried out by a qualified appraiser.
Numerous online resources provide extensive information about conservation easements. It is advisable to begin by consulting the Land Trust Alliance, the national umbrella organization for land trusts.
If you wish to explore the conservation easement process with a property owner, please reach out to Stu or Pete at BendLand.
