The Carroll County Agricultural Land Preservation Program administers various programs to preserve agricultural land and other land with conservation value. The majority of land is preserved by paying landowners who volunteer to permanently retire the non-agricultural development potential of their land. Other easements are obtained through donation, via other Carroll County Code requirements, or transfer of development rights. The easements are generally held by the County, except for MALPF easements, which are held by the State. The farm owner holds fee simple title to the land and continues to farm. The farm may be sold, but the easement, which restricts the development of the property, remains with the land and binds future owners.
