Government entities cannot use or threaten eminent domain for purchases made with rollback tax funds. This bars forced sales, or threats of forced sales, in those purchases. - Limits on government land purchases for preservation: cost, low. In a public land county, government entities generally cannot use rollback tax funds to buy full land ownership for preservation. An exception applies when the buyer transfers roughly equal-sized private property in the same county at the same time. - Counties must reserve taxes for land: mixed, low. Beginning May 7, 2025, counties receive 100% of covered rollback taxes and in-lieu fees to preserve or restore open or agricultural land. For certain in-lieu fees, this replaces the former split: 20% to counties and 80% to other taxing entities. Allowed uses include conservation easements.
