Erie Coast Appraisal Group, Inc

Erie Coast Appraisal Group, Inc. has over thirty (30) years of appraisal experience.  One of the specialized areas of expertise for our office is Conservation Easement appraisals.  Our firm has performed many conservation easement appraisals under both USPAP and UASFLA ("Yellow Book") standards.

A conservation easement is a voluntary, legally binding agreement that limits certain types of uses or prevents development from taking place on a piece of property now and in the future, while protecting the property's ecological or open-space values.  The easement is signed by the landowner, who is the easement donor, and the Conservancy, who is the party receiving the easement.  The Conservancy accepts the easement with understanding that it must enforce the terms of the easement in perpetuity.  After the easement is signed, it is recorded with the County Regsiter of Deeds and applies to all future owners of the land.

Due to the unique nature of conservation easement appraisals and the fact that the landowner can face significant penalties for the overstatement of a charitable contribution, you need to be sure to select a qualified appraiser for the valuation of your conservation easement.  Our firm has completed many conservation easement appraisals and we have invested significant time educating ourselves on the complexities involved in consevation easement appraisals. 

Whether you're interested in selling, donating or purchasing a conservation eaement property, we can help.  Our clients have included private individuals, established land trusts, and municipal, State and Federal agencies.  To discuss our firm's expertise and experience regarding conservation easement appraisals, we ask you to call or email our office.  Click on the "CONTACT US" page to get the complete contact information for our firm.
