Peninsula Township has announced the opening of another application round of its Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) program for owners of agricultural land within the Agricultural Preservation Area.
Landowners may apply for the option to sell a conservation easement on their land to the township. Land in the program is permanently preserved for agricultural uses and cannot be developed for residential use, except as agreed to and as specifically limited by the easement.

The program is voluntary, and payment amounts are based on appraised value of the specific development rights. Applications in the current round are continuing and will be prioritized.
The new application period shall run from March 24 through April 21, 2025.
Applications are available on the Peninsula Township website here and by request to the Township Planner, Elise Loud, [email protected].
Note that there are two applications. For new properties seeking to apply, choose the “Purchase of Development Rights Application.” For properties already under easement that are interested in relinquishing any previously retained rights, choose the “Purchase of Retained Development Rights Application.”
For more information, contact the Township Planner.
