Expansion of Conservation Easement Tax Credit Program to Include Ditch Companies
CRC continues to progress on its effort to include ditch companies in the Conservation
Easement Tax Credit Program. The Department of Revenue issued a General
Information Letter in December 2020 that allows ditch companies to receive conservation
easement tax credits. CRC is working to amend final language to include ditch companies
with government shareholders in this change as well.
Do you have a potential conservation easement project involving a ditch company? Please
contact us for support on these projects.
Transaction Cost Award Program Continues!
CRC continues to offer its Transaction Cost Award Program. You can learn more and download informational flyers here. If you have a landowner interested in the program, please contact us.
