Conservation Tax Credit Transfer, LLCOur passion for land conservation started over thirty-three years ago when we made the decision to live in Colorado. We love the land and we love the state. We live in a beautiful red rock canyon. We decided to place a conservation easement on part of our ranch in 1999 and we qualified for a Credit. Colorado had a budget surplus in 2000 so we applied for a state tax refund. We knew we would probably not be able to use the rest of our Credit over the remaining allowable 20-year period so we decided to sell the remainder. Our neighbors also decided to sell their Credit. We thought that many landowners donating easements would want to do the same. We were familiar with land conservation, the Credit transfer process, the Colorado statutes and we had the passion. Conservation Tax Credit Transfer, LLC was born. CTCT'S business philosophyWe believe it is extremely important to protect Colorado's special places.
