How important is the appraisal process?

The IRS views this issue very seriously and may impose substantial penalties on both the landowner and the appraiser for gifts that are overvalued for tax purposes.

Landowners are well advised to choose an appraiser carefully and to work with the appraiser, a tax advisor and the Land Trust throughout the process of completing a conservation easement.

The Land Trust will not knowingly participate in any project where it has significant concerns about the tax deduction.
