Reducing your Taxes with Conservation Easements

Interest in conservation easements has grown with the extreme increases in property values in many parts of the country. The resulting increased tax burden created some rather valuable estates that are "cash poor, but land rich." This shortage of cash sometimes means that even landowners who wish to preserve undeveloped land may have to sell or subdivide their land to pay the taxes. In addition to the payment of property taxes, estate taxes can be of particular concern.
