§479-C. Conservation easement registry

A holder of a conservation easement that is organized or doing business in the State shall annually report to the Executive Department, State Planning Office the book and page number at the registry of deeds for each conservation easement that it holds, the municipality and approximate number of acres protected under each easement and such other information as the State Planning Office determines necessary to fulfill the purposes of this subchapter. The filing must be made by a date and on forms established by the State Planning Office to avoid duplicative filings when possible and otherwise reduce administrative burdens. The annual filing must be accompanied by a $30 fee. The State Planning Office shall maintain a permanent record of the registration and report to the Attorney General any failure of a holder disclosed by the filing or otherwise known to the State Planning Office. The fees established under this section must be held by the State Planning Office in a nonlapsing, special account to defray the costs of maintaining the registry and carrying out its duties under this section.
