How do I find out how many development
rights I have to send?
|
 |
You must contact the Land Use Department at 303-441-3930 to find
out specifics about your site. After discussing the details with
you and examining written documentation about the site, the Land
Use staff will prepare a letter telling you how many potential
development rights are associated with your property. This
number will not be final until a conservation easement is placed
on the sending site, at which time, individual Development Right
Certificates (similar to a deed) will be issued to you by the
County for each right you possess. |

What would be the benefit of becoming a
sending site?
|
|
|
Many people who own land in Boulder County would like to keep
their land open or in agricultural production. The pressure to
subdivide, however, is strong because of the economic benefits
of selling off pieces of land. By becoming a sending site, a
property owner can retain ownership of their land for farming
and preservation while gaining some monetary benefit from
selling off development rights. While the price for a
development right is based upon market demand, it is estimated
that a development right could sell for anywhere between $20,000
and $50,000. |
