Land Use & Zoning

An Oklahoma municipality adopts a transfer of development rights (TDR) program. TDR allows property owners in designated preservation areas to:

ATransfer their mortgage to another property
BSell their development rights to owners in designated receiving areas, allowing preservation of farmland or open space while concentrating development where it is desired✓ Correct
CTransfer zoning violations to neighboring properties
DReceive tax credits for unused development rights

Explanation

TDR programs allow landowners in 'sending' areas (farmland, historic districts, open space) to sell their unused development rights to owners in 'receiving' areas who want to build at higher densities. This market-based mechanism preserves land without government purchase.
