Conservation Easements

What is a Conservation Easement?

A conservation easement in Florida is a voluntary legal agreement that allows landowners to preserve the natural resources on their property by restricting development and harmful activities while retaining ownership. Landowners can benefit from tax deductions, lower property taxes, and estate tax reductions, while ensuring that the land’s ecological value is protected permanently. The easement is tailored to the landowner’s goals, allowing sustainable activities like farming or ranching, and is monitored by a conservation organization to ensure compliance.
