New land conservation rules: shorter terms and renegotiation options.
This act changes how land conservation agreements between landowners and the government are made and managed. It limits new agreements to 50 years and allows landowners to renegotiate or buy back older agreements, potentially affecting their property rights and finances.
Key points
New land conservation agreements with the government cannot exceed 50 years.
Landowners with agreements over 50 years old or made before 1977 without a map can request renegotiation or buyback.
Landowners can receive a map and valuation of the easement, and potentially a payment from the government upon renegotiation.
