Florida S0938 amends conservation easement rules, allowing release under specific conditions.

Florida S0938 modifies the conditions under which a water management district must release a conservation easement. The bill specifies that a conservation easement can be released if the parcel is under 15 acres, bordered by impervious surfaces, contains no historical significance, and has secured mitigation credits. Upon release, ad valorem taxes are based on property value, and development is allowed if it aligns with adjacent land zoning. The property owner must handle stormwater requirements and comply with local ordinances.
