Selling your Credits through the Cooperative

Once earned, how can I transfer my credit?

It is anticipated that New Mexico’s tax credit transfer market will evolve as markets have done in other states. Once a tax credit is earned, a donor may transfer it to a third party. This offers donors immediate compensation and third parties the opportunity of reduce their tax liability. To transfer a tax credit, donors may attempt to locate their own purchaser or work through a credit facilitator who will provide a purchases for the tax credit. In New Mexico, there is now a third option as well. Taos Land Trust ahs joined with other New Mexico land trusts in partnering with the nation’s leading tax credit expert to create the New Mexico Credit Cooperative. In addition to assisting donors throughout the conservation easement donation process, the Cooperative also transfers credits in a way that provides ongoing support for New Mexico land conservation.
