For further information please contact The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Historic Preservation Section, County Administration Building, 14741 Governor Oden Bowie Drive, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772. Call 301.952.3680 [or visit](or visit www.pgplanning.org/HPGrants/htm)[ ](or visit www.pgplanning.org/HPGrants/htm)[www.pgplanning.org/HPGrants/htm](or visit www.pgplanning.org/HPGrants/htm).  \nThis information is provided by The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) as a supplement to and further explanation of the preservation easement associated with the Historic Property Grant Program. M-NCPPC makes no representation or warranty with regard to the correctness of this text as specifically applicable to individual circumstances. Interested parties are advised to review this information and the easement documents with their attorney, financial advisor and/or tax professional.  \nQ. What is a preservation easement?  \nA. A preservation easement is a voluntary transfer by the property owner, as donor, of some of the rights inherent in property ownership to a qualified steward of such rights (called the donee) . The preservation easement is set forth in a legal agreement between the property owner (the donor) and M-NCPPC (the qualified holder, the donee) to preserve and protect the significant historical, cultural, architectural, or archeological attributes of the property.  \nThe “easement,” as it is legally termed, contains binding and enforceable covenants that run with the land and associated structures. These covenants obligate the owner, and his or her successors, to refrain from actions that are incompatible with the preservation of the historic resource and/or compromise its historic integrity. To understand the easement concept, think of property ownership as investing the owner with a number of generally recognized rights. The landowner may sell or give away all of the rights, or a limited set of them. These rights may include, for example, the right to alter a building, to demolish it, or to construct a new one. In return for the historic property grant, the property owner gives away certain rights while retaining others. The basic premise of the preservation easement agreement stipulates that the owner will be required to seek approval from M-NCPPC on any change to the property designated in the agreement.  \nQ. Who is required to grant an easement to the M-NCPPC?  \nA. Any property owner awarded funds through the Prince George’s County Historic Property Grant Program must donate an easement to M-NCPPC as a condition of the grant award. If the property belongs to more than one person, all owners must consent to granting an easement. If the property is mortgaged, the owner must obtain an agreement from the lender to subordinate its interests to those of M-NCPPC so that the easement cannot be extinguished in the event of foreclosure.  \nQ. What are M-NCPPC’s responsibilities?  \nA. M-NCPPC is responsible for monitoring and enforcing the restrictions specified in the easement. Annually, M-NCPPC historic preservation staff will inspect the property (usually with the property owner) to determine that the property remains in the condition prescribed at the time of the easement. This visit also keeps MNCPPC and the property owner in regular communication and provides an opportunity for M-NCPPC staff to provide technical assistance to owners. If monitoring reveals the easement has been violated, M-NCPPC has the legal obligation to require that the owner correct the violation and restore the property to its original condition.  \nHolding a preservation easement is a significant responsibility.
