Died in Environment and Natural Resources
Summary
The bill permits a fee‑simple landowner of a parcel under 15 acres, bordered on three or more sides by impervious surfaces, to ask a water management district to lift a conservation easement if the land lacks historic or cultural significance and the owner provides approved mitigation credits. After release, the property is taxed at its just (market) value and can be developed in line with the zoning of nearby lands, with the owner bearing all storm‑water responsibilities. The provision excludes easements within residential developments and those owned directly by the district.
