Conservation Easements
Owners of a historic property can ensure its future preservation
(and collect a tidy tax benefit) by placing a restriction on the
property that prevents demolition or inappropriate alterations.
The Conservancy, in receiving the easement, accepts an obligation
to review future proposed changes to the structure, and the owner,
in return, can take a significant charitable deduction.
