PNJ Easments
A preservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement between a property owner and Preservation New Jersey (PNJ) that insures the long-term protection of the property’s historic character and value, even if the property is transferred to subsequent owners. The Internal Revenue Service recognizes the voluntary donation of a preservation easement as a charitable tax deduction when such easements comply with certain conditions and regulations, and when donated to a “qualified organization.” Preservation New Jersey is recognized as a qualified organization for accepting easements and has developed its program to comply with IRS regulations.
