The New Jersey Grant of Conservation Restriction/Easement (GCR/E) is a voluntary agreement between a landowner and a government or nonprofit organization. The agreement allows the landowner to keep their land in its natural state while providing public benefits such as preserving open space, protecting water resources, providing wildlife habitat, and protecting the environment. The New Jersey GCR/E is available in two forms: perpetual and temporary. A perpetual GCR/E is a legally binding agreement that is recorded in the public records and remains binding even if the land is sold or transferred. A temporary GCR/E is typically limited to a specific period of time and is a non-binding agreement that is not recorded in the public records. The New Jersey GCR/E is a powerful tool for landowners to preserve their land in its natural state and help protect the environment for future generations. It can provide tax breaks, promote sustainable land use, and protect the environment.
