WHAT ARE LAND PRESERVATION TAX CREDITS?
Land Preservation Tax Credits are generated when landowners elect to protect their land in perpetuity with a conservation easement. Technically, the landowners are "donating" the development rights to the greater good of the Commonwealth, as protecting the essential conservation values of their property, like clean water, wildlife habitat, and scenic views, benefit the public. Landowners are awarded with Land Preservation Tax Credits (LPTCs) as a result of this charitable contribution.
Landowners who have been awarded LPTCs may use them against their own Virginia income tax liability or can sell them to buyers like you at a discounted rate.
HOW CAN I BENEFIT FROM PURCHASING LAND PRESERVATION TAX CREDITS?
Purchasing Land Preservation Tax Credits can provide you with significant tax savings while directly supporting farmers & landowners all around Virginia! You realize savings by purchasing credits at a discount and claiming the credit at its face value on your Virginia income tax return.
