WHAT IS CTCT'S ROLE IN THE TAX CREDIT TRANSFER PROCESS?

CTCT does not represent either the seller or the buyer of the Colorado Conservation Easement Tax Credit. Rather, we match the seller and buyer and facilitate the transfer or sale process through the use of our Agreement to Purchase/Sell. This agreement defines the specific conservation easement donation; the amount of the Colorado Conservation Easement Tax Credit being transferred; how funds are allocated among the landowner, the buyer of the Tax Credit and the facilitator; and specific warrants and agreements for the seller, the buyer and the facilitator.

The seller, buyer and facilitator all review, date and sign the Agreement to Purchase/Sell. When all of the documents and agreements are completed the seller receives a check from the buyer through our firm.

HOW IS THE TRANSFERRED COLORADO CONSERVATION EASEMENT TAX CREDIT REPORTED?
