KITTERY LAND TRUST PROPERTIES

The Kittery Land Trust, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to working creatively with landowners, citizens and the Town of Kittery to conserve and steward important natural areas that improve the quality of life in Kittery now and for the future.

Kittery Land Trust owns or protects 383 acres of land. The properties owned by KLT are the result of an outright donation, the owner gave full title and ownership to KLT and received tax benefits in the form of income tax deductions, potential estate tax benefits, and relief from property taxes. A donation of land offers the maximum tax advantages because it may be taken as a charitable gift deduction based on the full fair market value of the property.

KLT holds conservation easements for the remaining properties. A conservation easement is a legal agreement that runs with the land in perpetuity. It permanently limits certain uses of the land in order to protect its conservation features, but allows a property to remain in private ownership and use.
