Only permanent (perpetual) conservation easements can qualify a donor for federal and state income and estate tax benefits. A conservation easement runs with the land, binding not only the landowner who gives the easement, but all future owners as well. The easement is recorded in the county’s land records, so that future owners and lenders will learn about the restrictions when they obtain title reports.
