Description
A preservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement that protects a significant historic or cultural resource. An easement provides assurance to the owner of an historic or cultural property that the property's intrinsic values will be preserved through subsequent ownership. In addition, the owner may obtain substantial tax benefits. Under the terms of an easement, a property owner grants the rights to their property's facade to Historic Nashville, Inc. Once recorded, an easement becomes part of the property's chain of title and usually 'runs with the land' in perpetuity, thus binding not only the owner who grants the easement but all future owners as well. The Benefits of Donating an Easement An easement is a particularly useful historic preservation tool in several respects. First, it allows an individual to retain private ownership of the property and obtain potential financial benefits. Second, an easement binds not only the current owner, but future owners as well, ensuring that the property will be maintained and preserved by future owners. Third, easements are tailored to meet the needs of the property owner, the individual resource, and the mission of Historic Nashville, Inc. Thus an easement provides the owner with a flexible tool with which to preserve the property for future generations. If certain criteria are met, the owner also can receive a Federal income tax deduction equivalent to the value of the rights given away to Historic Nashville, Inc. Preservation Easement Restrictions An easement gives Historic Nashville, Inc the legal authority and responsibility to enforce its terms. This often includes the right to inspect the property to ensure that the owner is complying with the terms. Historic preservation easements prohibit the owner from demolishing or making alterations to the property without prior review, consultation and approval by Historic Nashville.
