FAUQUIER COUNTY PURCHASE OF
DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS PROGRAM
April 23, 2014
WHAT IS A PDR PROGRAM?
A Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) Program
allows a landowner to voluntarily sell the development
rights on farm and forest land (by way of a
conservation easement) to a governmental agency or
land trust. The landowner receives compensation in
return for the restrictions being placed on the land.
The landowner retains title to the land and has the
ability to sell or pass on the farm to others. PDR
programs are also known as Purchase of Agricultural
Conservation Easement (PACE) programs.
WHAT ARE DEVELOPMENT
RIGHTS?
Development Rights are one of the so-called
“bundle of rights” associated with land ownership.
A locality may acquire or restrict development
through a purchase, leaving possession and other
use with the fee simple owner.
LEGAL AUTHORITY
In Virginia, the legal authority for local PDR
programs is provided by the Open Space Land Act
(Virginia Code § 10.1-1700 et seq.)
