Open Space and Taxation

The Sierra Club urges all states to adopt taxation policies that recognize the highest and best use of open space lands may be their continuance as open space and encourages their use for purposes consistent with their open character, rather than their necessarily being appraised at their highest marked value, as for urban and industrial purposes.

Adopted by the Board of Directors, May 7-8, 1966
