Easement Basics

 The ISHS Easement Program is one of the State of Idaho’s most effective tools to ensure the preservation and protection of a historic property in perpetuity. A historic preservation easement is a legal document through which a property owner retains title and use of property, and, at the same time, secures its long-term preservation by donating the right to alter the property without prior permission from the ISHS. Future owners are also restricted from changing the property without prior approval throughout the life of the easement.  

The program encourages developing partnerships focused on economic, cultural, and environmental sustainability for historic properties.  

For more information on our easement policies, please see our easement-related documents.
