WHAT YOU CAN DO
A Gift of Land
of conservation value is the most generous way of preserving the natural beauty
of Truro into Perpetuity. Such donations may provide substantial income, estate,
and capital gains tax benefits. You can be assured that the Trust will
diligently maintain the property in its unspoiled state for the benefit of
Truro and for you is, as is likely, you will remain a neighbor of such land.
We are also most appreciative of lands willed to the Trust.
A Bargain Sale consists of
selling your conservation property to the Trust at below market price. This is
another way to achieve significant preservation of land. There are tax benefits
in this to you and the saving of limited cash resources for the Trust.
A Conservation Restriction
is the setting aside of a parcel of property, perhaps adjacent to your
home, which you continue to own and make use of, but which is dedicated in
perpetuity to ensure that the land will not be developed. As this diminishes the
sale value of your land, your property tax will decrease and, as a gift for
conservation, you may have in income tax deduction for tax purposes.
Trustees will be more than willing to assist you in achieving any of these
goals. Please see the link at the left,
Trustees for information on how we may be reached.
