Bargain Sales
A “Bargain Sale” is a sale of land or a conservation easement to a qualified nonprofit organization for below market value.
Preserving land by selling it to Placer Land Trust in a bargain sale can provide two forms of financial benefits to the seller: cash from the purchase, and tax benefits. A bargain sale also means that Placer Land Trust is able to purchase the property at a reduced price, which is always helpful because we usually need to fundraise for any land acquisition.
