It would probably depend on the state/county and what the easement is. But you would assume if the easement was in perpetuity that they would be less likely to use eminent domain.
No one ever owns any land in the USA the government owns all the land and are landlords. If someone don't pay their taxes for two years or so the property is taken and sold
Seems like a bad deal honestly. 1) if I want to preserve the land I can do that myself while I own it. I don’t need a contract with the government to do that. 2) having a conservation easement if in perpetuity means if I die and want to give that land to my kids or sell it they will not be able to do anything really with the land, it seems selfish on my part to do such a thing to the next owners.
Great explanation buddy! Learn somethin’ everday.
Now I can continue to finish the 3rd episode of Yellowstone.
Brief break in Yellowstone to learn a quick tidbit!
This explanation was really helpful...thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Will a conservation easement stop a county from using the eminent domain land grab?

Hi, I think this is wonderful. I have a question, does the government own land-conservation area? Or who owns it?

Great stress outlet for an elitist god complex!
