Donating Easements & Selling Credits

Landowner’s Guide

Excerpt (from Introduction)

Conservation Partners, LLC (”Conservation Partners”) consults with landowners and their professional advisors throughout the complex process of donating conservation easements and preparing and registering high-quality land preservation tax credits. In most cases, after an easement donor’s credits are registered, we help the donor market and sell his or her credit to individuals and businesses who are enthusiastic about purchasing high-quality credits and supporting land conservation in Virginia.

This Landowner’s Guide is designed to help you, as a prospective easement donor, to prepare for some of the decisions you will face as you consider an easement donation. We hope you will contact us to discuss your property, your plans, and how we might be able to help you and your advisors through the process of making an easement donation. Please note that Conservation Partners cannot give tax or legal advice, and we strongly urge you to consult with an experienced professional regarding your own tax and financial situation before signing any legal agreement or proceeding with a conservation easement donation.
