Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Properties can be bought by government agencies, land trusts, or private entities for conservation and preservation purposes, such as farmland preservation, wildlife refuges, other conservation, and cultural and historical preservation. There is variation in the dollars paid per acre across properties and across buyer type. An option value model based on future potential land uses is used to explain much of this variation. The data used in our analysis is sales transactions data for conservation and preservation purposes from throughout the United States. We find that much of the value of conservation properties is derived from future potential land uses, including housing, timber, recreation, and conservation. We confirm that public versus private buyers value options differently, which makes sense from a public good point of view, if markets are thin.

Download or read book A Tax Guide to Conservation Easements written by C. Timothy Lindstrom and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voluntary land conservation, resulting from increasingly alluring tax benefits, has significantly changed the face of land use in the United States and promises to have an even more significant influence in the future. There are more than 1,500 land trusts in the U.S. today, involving millions of acres of land that have been permanently protected by conservation easements. Most of these land trusts depend heavily upon the significant income or estate tax benefits offered by the federal tax code as an incentive for voluntary land conservation. However, only a very small percentage of land trust personnel, landowners or their advisors, or even government officials, fully understand the complexity of the requirements for these tax benefits. This is a comprehensive book on the tax benefits of the charitable contribution, or bargain sale, of a conservation easement. It provides a detailed explanation of the complex and extensive requirements of the federal tax code and related concepts, including the rules governing the operation of tax-exempt organizations such as land trusts. Clearly written, systematic in its coverage, it is intended to be of value for anyone who deals with land trust issues, including land trust staff and trustees, landowners, lawyers, accountants, government officials, and interested lay people. Structured for easy reference, A Tax Guide to Conservation Easements is designed to be used as a resource tool. Related topics are cross-referenced throughout. All principles in the book are illustrated with one or more useful examples. The tax benefits of contributing a conservation easement are unquestionably the heart of voluntary land conservation today. Knowledge of the tax law relating to land trusts and conservation easements is vital to properly establishing and managing land trusts and to insuring the tax deductibility of conservation easements. The future of voluntary land conservation is dependent on a clear understanding of tax policy. Complete, meticulous, and up to date, A Tax Guide to Conservation Easements is an essential handbook.

Book excerpt: A plethora of land use policies are implemented at the local, state, and federal levels to influence the manner in which land is utilized. The distribution of the costs and benefits associated with implementing such land use policies always has been, and will continue to be, a source of contention. The three essays presented in this dissertation explore two types of land use policies: state and local-level land use regulations that restrict the use of land and incentives for voluntary conservation. The first essay addresses the economic issues that arise from the adoption of state-level compensation legislation, which requires a government entity to pay compensation to a property owner when the value of his property has been reduced by the enactment of a land use regulation. An assumption implicit to the idea of compensation is that effect of a land use regulation on a property's value is observable and can be accurately estimated. This assumption is problematic due to the complex interaction of land use regulations and land use decisions, and the market's anticipation of both future regulation and potential payments of compensation. Supposing that the price effects of regulation could be accurately estimated, the scope of compensation statutes is too narrow to consistently identify and appropriately compensate landowners who have been most heavily burdened by land use regulation. Economists investigating the effect of land use regulation on property value have typically estimated hedonic property value models with regulations included as exogenous regressors. This approach is likely to be invalid if parcel characteristics that determine property values also influence the government's decision about how to implement regulations. The second essay uses Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) to study the effect of the Portland, Oregon, Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) on property values. RDD provides an unbiased estimate of the treatment effect under relatively mild conditions and is well-suited to our application because the UGB defines a sharp treatment threshold. We find a price differential on the western and southern sides of the Portland metropolitan area ranging from $30,000 to at least $140,000, but no price differential on the eastern side. Voter support for Measure 37, a compensation statute approved by Oregon voters in 2004, was fueled by price differences such as these among parcels subject to different regulations, but one must be careful not to view current price differentials as evidence that regulations have reduced property values. The third essay considers an incentive mechanism designed to encourage spatially coordinated land conservation: the agglomeration bonus. The primary weakness of the agglomeration bonus as it has been represented in the literature is that it requires landowners to coordinate land use decisions amongst each other, potentially resulting in coordination failure. The functionality of the agglomeration bonus is improved by allowing landowners' enrollment decisions to be conditional on surrounding patterns of enrollment. Under a conditional agglomeration bonus, a landowner's enrollment decision is determined entirely by his own private costs and benefits, eliminating the potential for coordination failure.

Download or read book Measuring the Externality Benefits of Voluntarily Protected Properties on Surrounding Home Values written by Jay Mittal and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dissertation examines the relationship between single-family homes (SFH) and surrounding conservation easement (CE) property parcels in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. The research was designed to examine whether conservation easements indeed externalize benefits to the surrounding SFH values. Externalities are those factors that are outside of SFH and contribute positive or negative effective on SFH's values. Conservation easement is a voluntary land-conservation tool and is increasingly popular in the United States. It is used widely to protect privately owned properties offering scenic views and vistas, open spaces, rural and historic character, watersheds and natural systems, habitats and endangered species, and other preservation-worthy attributes. CE-protected parcels are restricted via an agreement for any future development. With donation of the development rights, CE advances public good - forever - by protecting preservation-worthy land in perpetuity, and landowners are rewarded with tax abatement. With public tax dollars involved in CE in the form of tax abatement, municipalities may need to make the case that such conservation programs have a positive public benefit and that there is a potential economic benefit on the surrounding home values, or at least the preservation of property values. This dissertation examines the relationship between conservation-easement parcels and the values of surrounding SFH using a hedonic price modeling (HPM) framework and SFH sales data for Worcester. Using 3-D GIS, externality-capturing explanatory variables were developed that include proximity from homes to CE parcels, viewable areas of CE parcels from homes, and Conservation Easement Visibility Index (CEVI), a relative index for home samples that measures both the visibility and proximity together through a single variable. The research findings were interesting. Contrary to expectation, distance from, and visibility of, CE property parcels from SFH samples was statistically insignificant; however, their interaction effect was found to be significant. The interaction effect was measured via the CEVI. It was found that on average there is a marginal value creation for homes that have both features - visibility of CE parcels and proximity to them. The research findings support the notion that homeowners place higher value on quieter, everlasting, conserved landscapes, but the low effect of CE parcels on home prices could be due to lack of recognition or knowledge about the CE-protected parcels. Further, the combined effect of proximity and visibility (being able to enjoy the property from the comfort of one's home) emerged as the key factors in driving higher home values. For few select homes with higher value of CEVI, it was found that CE parcels do create as high as a 34 percent premium to those homes. The research findings are useful for federal, state and local governments, land trusts, and land-use planners as conservation easement is the most commonly used tool in land protection. This research provides insights and tools for estimating the direct benefits of land protection, especially with scenic amenities. Since the effect of home values has implications on property tax revenues, local governments can use this as a tool to make land-protection decisions and prioritize their efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, the Law Commission make recommendations for the introduction of a new statutory scheme of conservation covenants in England and Wales. The recommendations to introduce such a scheme would create a new legal tool, enabling landowners to protect land in order to conserve and restore our natural and built environment. Conservation covenants would allow landowners voluntarily to create binding obligations on their own land to meet a conservation objective, such as preserving woodland, cultivating a particular species of plant or protecting a habitat for an animal, or farming land in a certain way. The proposed statutory scheme would give individual landowners the opportunity, using private agreements, to contribute to conservation efforts being made across England and Wales. The scheme will create a versatile, simple and cost-effective legal tool capable of: unlocking currently missed conservation opportunities by overcoming the legal difficulties faced when creating binding obligations; facilitating better ways to deliver existing conservation objectives; and providing assurance of long-term conservation benefits. The report includes a draft Conservation Covenants Bill, which would introduce the conservation covenant scheme into the law of England and Wales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As external forces increase the demand for land conversion, communities are increasingly open to policies that encourage conservation of farm and forest lands. This interest in conservation notwithstanding, the consequences of land-use policy and the drivers of land conversions are often unclear. One of the first books to deal exclusively with the economics of rural-urban sprawl, Economics and Contemporary Land-Use Policy explores the causes and consequences of rapidly accelerating land conversions in urban-fringe areas, as well as implications for effective policy responses. This book emphasizes the critical role of both spatial and economic-ecological interactions in contemporary land use, and the importance of a practical, policy-oriented perspective. Chapters illustrate an interaction of conceptual, theoretical, and empirical approaches to land-use policy and highlight advances in policy-oriented economics associated with the conservation and development of urban-fringe land. Issues addressed include (1) the appropriate role of economics in land-use policy, (2) forecasting and management of land conversion, (3) interactions among land use, property values, and local taxes, and (4) relationships among rural amenities, rural character, and urban-fringe land-use policy. Economics and Contemporary Land-Use Policy is a timely and relevant contribution to the land-use policy debate and will prove an essential reference for policymakers at the local, state, and federal levels. It will also be of interest to students, academics, and anyone with an interest in the practical application of economics to land-use issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The causes, consequences and control of land use change have become topics of enormous importance in contemporary society. Not only is urban land use and sprawl a hot-button issue, but issues of rural land use have also been in the headlines. Policy makers and citizens are starting to realize that many environmental and economic issues have the question of land use at their very core. Comprising papers from a conference sponsored by the Northeast Regional Center for Rural Development, Land Use Problems and Conflicts draws together some of the most up-to-date research in this area. Sections are devoted to problems in the United States and Europe, the consequences of such problems, land use-related data and alternative solutions to conflict. With a lineup including some of the best scholarship on this subject to date, this volume will be of use to those studying environmental and land use issues in addition to policy makers and economists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively describes the history of Gatineau Park, from the first proposals for a “national park” in the early 1900s to the governance issues in the present period, and it highlights the issues concerning the planning and governance of this unique near-urban ecological area. The 34,500-hectare Gatineau Park is an ecologically diverse wilderness area near the cities of Ottawa (Canada’s national capital) and Gatineau. Gatineau Park is planned and managed as the “Capital’s Conservation Park” by the federal government, specifically the National Capital Commission (NCC). This monograph examines numerous governmental and non-governmental actors that are engaged in the governance of a near-urban wilderness area. Unlike Canada’s national parks, Gatineau Park’s administration involves all three levels of government (federal, provincial, and four municipalities). This book is the first to document the relations among the public and private entities, and is one of only a handful of studies concerning the governance of Canada’s National Capital Region (NCR), which is relatively unique in the literature on federal capitals. Of particular interest to students of governance will be the examination of federal-provincial relations, as the Governments of Canada and Quebec have had a notoriously strained relationship. As the first governance study of Gatineau Park, the monograph will provide readers with insight into the significance of non-state actors, showing the range of competencies that public and private groups deploy in their negotiations with NCC planners, policymakers, park managers, local and federal politicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most communities, land use regulations are based on a limited model that allows for only one end result: the production of more and more suburbia, composed of endless subdivisions and shopping centers, that ultimately covers every bit of countryside with "improvements." Fortunately, sensible alternatives to this approach do exist, and methods of developing land while at the same time conserving natural areas are available. In Conservation Design for Subdivisions, Randall G. Arendt explores better ways of designing new residential developments than we have typically seen in our communities. He presents a practical handbook for residential developers, site designers, local officials, and landowners that explains how to implement new ideas about land-use planning and environmental protection. Abundantly illustrated with site plans (many of them in color), floor plans, photographs, and renditions of houses and landscapes, it describes a series of simple and straightforward techniques that allows for land-conserving development. The author proposes a step-by-step approach to conserving natural areas by rearranging density on each development parcel as it is being planned so that only half (or less) of the buildable land is turned into houselots and streets. Homes are built in a less land-consumptive manner that allows the balance of property to be permanently protected and added to an interconnected network of green spaces and green corridors. Included in the volume are model zoning and subdivision ordinance provisions that can help citizens and local officials implement these innovative design ideas.
