Financial Statement Notes

Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements.

“Acquisition of easements by the organization frequently occurs in the form of gifts and/or as purchases at fair market value. The organization records both acquisitions and conveyances at fair market value as determined based on independent appraisal. Easements acquired by the organization are conservation easements and represent restrictions over the use and development of land. These easements generally provide that the land will be maintained unimpaired in its current natural, agricultural, scenic, or recreational state. Since the benefits of such easements accrue to the public upon acquisition, the fair market value of easements acquired is shown in the year of acquisition as an addition to net assets to record the donor's gift and unless conveyed to a public agency for consideration, shown as a reduction in net assets to record the value of the public's benefit and to recognize that these easements have no market value once severed from the land and held by the organization.”

IRS990/MissionDesc0The Ag Land Trust was created, on August 1, 1984, to protect productive agricultural land from the pressure of commercial and residential development. The Ag Land Trust has protected more irrigated farmland and has been more effective in redirecting city growth toward less desirable land than any other agricultural land trust in California.

IRS990ScheduleD/StatesEasementsHeldCnt01
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Acquisition of easements by the organization frequently occurs in the form of gifts and/or as purchases at fair market value. The organization records both acquisitions and conveyances at fair market value as determined based on independent appraisal. Easements acquired by the organization are conservation easements and represent restrictions over the use and development of land. These easements generally provide that the land will be maintained unimpaired in its current natural, agricultural, scenic, or recreational state. Since the benefits of such easements accrue to the public upon acquisition, the fair market value of easements acquired is shown in the year of acquisition as an addition to net assets to record the donor's gift and unless conveyed to a public agency for consideration, shown as a reduction in net assets to record the value of the public's benefit and to recognize that these easements have no market value once severed from the land and held by the organization.
