Martha's Vineyard Land Bank Regulations

The Martha's Vineyard Land Bank has conserved 3000 acres of the island by collection of a 2% transfer fee on most transactions. Although administered by a private conservancy, the fee is not a private transfer tax imposed by covenant but was, instead, created by enabling legislation and is enforced by detailed regulations governing the administration of the fee. This 29 page document outlines the rules and regulations governing the processing of the land bank transfer fee.
