Introduction Legislation that recognizes wildlife conservation land as a special class of property that must be assessed at a reduced value Signed into law in 2008 Effective January 1, 2010 Administered by NCWRC –Incorporates priorities from the NC Wildlife Action Plan

Program Structure Modeled after the Present Use Value programs, but NOT one of them Tax evaluation at agricultural PUV rate Carries the same penalties as PUV programs

Ownership Property ownership of ≥5yrs prior to WCLP application Property must be owned by individual, family business, or family trust –No publicly traded corporations WCLP transfers with property if new owner files application with county within 60 days of land transfer

Application Process Landowner submits the Application for Assistance to WRC WRC conducts site visit to determine eligibility WRC provides assistance to prepare the Wildlife Habitat Conservation Agreement
