Land Use & Zoning
In Arizona, 'transferable development rights' (TDR) programs allow property owners in designated 'sending areas' to:
ATransfer their deed to the county in exchange for tax relief
BSell their unused development rights to developers in designated 'receiving areas,' allowing sending area land to remain undeveloped while receiving areas develop more densely✓ Correct
CTransfer ownership of their property to another family member without property taxes
DSell mineral rights separately from surface rights
Explanation
TDR programs are planning tools that allow landowners in areas where development should be limited (sending areas—farmland, habitat, historic sites) to sell their development rights to developers in areas where denser development is desired (receiving areas). The sending area owner receives value for restricting development; the receiving area developer can build more densely.
