Description

The Agreement for Donation is a legal document designed for landowners in Pennsylvania who wish to donate their land for a tax write off while specifying certain conditions. This agreement allows owners to donate land to the city for the development of a premium quality golf course, while retaining rights over the design and location. Key features include the condition that the donated land must exclusively serve recreational purposes and that the city must enter into a construction contract within a specified time frame. Additionally, the owners have a right of first refusal on any proposed sale of the property and an option for the property to revert back to them if the golf course is not developed or maintained as agreed. The agreement also outlines requirements for compliance with environmental regulations and provisions for access to the property prior to closing. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in facilitating land donations while ensuring that both parties' rights and responsibilities are clearly defined. Filling out the form clearly, specifying all conditions, and ensuring compliance with local laws is essential for successfully completing the donation process.
