DONATE LAND

Sometimes we conserve land by owning it outright – what is called “fee simple ownership.” Landowners may donate the property with the title and all rights and interest to the Georgia Piedmont Land Trust. We then retain the land for conservation purposes and are responsible for managing it forever.

The land donation may qualify as a tax-deductible charitable donation if it benefits the public by permanently protecting important conservation resources and meets other federal tax code requirements. Since each situation is different we recommend the land owner consult with their financial professional to determine what benefits might be available in their case.
