#36 - Land Use, Tax Breaks and Conservation Myths with Jody Barbour
Conservation easements are one of the most powerful—but misunderstood—tools available to landowners today. They protect property, preserve family legacies, and offer significant tax benefits at both the federal and state level.
In this episode of The American Land Seller Podcast, host Koby Rickertsen is joined by Jody Barbour of Conservation Tax Credit Transfer (CTCT) to break down how these voluntary legal agreements work, who they’re for, and how they can generate immediate financial returns without giving up ownership or land use.
👉 Learn how landowners across the country are using conservation easements to:
• Maintain full use of their land for farming, ranching, and building
• Qualify for federal tax deductions that carry forward for up to 15 years
• Tap into transferable state tax credits in states like Colorado and Virginia
• Reduce estate value and simplify family succession planning
• Establish building envelopes and maintain future flexibility
• Access bipartisan legislation aimed at national tax credit programs
We also bust the biggest myths—like the idea that the government takes over your land—and spotlight real success stories. If you’re a landowner, broker, attorney, or advisor looking for smart ways to protect and profit from your land, this episode is packed with insight.
