Benefits of Donating a Conservation Easement to the Jackson Hole Land Trust There are instant tax benefits acquired by qualified donators of conservation easements to the Jackson Hole Land Trust which are offered by the internal revenue code. Donators receive two kinds of major tax benefits. The first are income tax benefits and the second are estate tax benefits. The tax benefit amounts are determined by the current appraised value of the property. Another benefit to donating an easement is the accumulation of permanent protection over their conservation-worthy land without having to forfeit ownership. To inquire about further benefits, please contact the Jackson Hole Land Trust Office.
