Rivanna F2F

Riparian Buffer Tax Credit Match

Background

Timber harvests that leave intact, uncut riparian buffers are eligible for a cash-match incentive payment.  The cash-match will be equivalent to the amount of the Virginia Riparian Buffer Tax Credit,  up to a cap of $5000 per landowner.   This practice is applicable for  a successfully filed Virginia Riparian Buffer Tax Credit.  A copy of the “VDOF  Certification of Eligibility for Riparian Buffer Tax Incentive” will be required with the application.  Only timber harvests that occur between October 1, 2010 and September 1, 2012 AND have the completed “VDOF  Certification of Eligibility for Riparian Buffer Tax Incentive” are eligible.

For more information, review (Riparian Buffer Tax Credit).

A grand total of $20,000 has been earmarked for this practice.
