Description

The agreement for donation outlines the terms under which landowners can donate property to the City of Phoenix, effectively allowing them to receive a tax write-off for their donation. This form is specifically designed for landowners who wish to contribute their property for public use, particularly for developing a premium quality 18-hole golf course. Key features include the description of the gift, conditions precedent for the donation, allowed uses of the donated land, and provisions for how the golf course will be constructed. The form includes contingencies that must be resolved to the satisfaction of the owners before donating, such as design approvals and timelines for construction. It also includes clauses for reverter rights, meaning if the land is not used appropriately, it reverts back to the owners. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in property transactions or tax planning. They can utilize the form to ensure compliance with legal obligations and to facilitate the donation process, aiding clients in obtaining potential tax benefits while contributing to community recreational facilities.
