Authorize tax break for conservation easement donation in wills

Introduced in the Senate

Nov. 9, 2011

Introduced by Sen. Michael Green (R-31)

To establish that if a person donates a "conservation easement" on a parcel of land in his or her will, the heirs would not be subject to the Proposal A “pop-up,” in which the state equalized value (SEV, meaning market value) of transferred property becomes the basis for the new owner's property tax assessment, rather than the capped “taxable value” of the previous owner.
