ABOUT
CONSERVATION TAX CREDIT TRANSFER
Conservation Tax Credit Transfer (CTCT) was founded in 2000, the same year Colorado passed legislation creating the conservation easement tax credit transfer and sale program. Carl and Karen Spina donated a conservation easement on their ranch that same year, qualifying them for a conservation easement tax credit and realized others could benefit from selling their tax credits as well. CTCT is a leader in the conservation tax credit program facilitating the transfer and sale of the first two conservation tax credits in Colorado and has since completed thousands of tax credit sale transactions.
Jody Barbour, Owner of CTCT, joined the company in 2009 after 20 years in the real estate legal field, succeeding the founders when they retired in 2015.
CTCT has collaborated with landowners, conservation easement holders, attorneys, appraisers, accountants, and legislators to modify and refine the conservation tax credit legislation through the most recent HB 21-1233. We have served on legislative task forces, attended and presented at industry conferences and workshops, and continue to offer our expertise to help strengthen the tax credit program. CTCT brings professional experience and passion for land and water conservation to each and every tax credit transfer and sale transaction.
CTCT is invested and dedicated in helping landowners conserve their land and preserve their legacy. Our goal is to assist you in fully understanding all that is involved in your decision to donate a conservation easement and to transfer/sell your tax credit.
As a team, we bring our professional knowledge and passion for land conservation to every credit transaction. We attend and present at conservation conferences and workshops. We offer our credit transfer experience in an effort to help strengthen Colorado’s conservation statutes and land conservation programs.
We are very involved in state and national policy and conservation efforts. We are members of the Land Trust Alliance, our national conservation organization. We maintain strong relationships with state officials at the Division of Conservation and the Department of Revenue.
CTCT makes annual financial and in-kind contributions to the Colorado Coalition of Land Trusts, land trusts and to landowners in the form of grants to help with the costs associated with making a donation.
