Board raises IPP dollar point price to $13.50 and limits lump-sum payments to PPA properties
Summary
To incentivize high-priority parcels, the board approved increasing the Installment Purchase Program (IPP) dollar-point price to $13.50 per point and restricting lump-sum payment availability to properties located in Priority Preservation Areas (PPAs).
The Agricultural Preservation Advisory Board approved an update to the Installment Purchase Program (IPP) valuation schedule on May 26, setting the dollar point price to $13.50 per point and limiting lump-sum payments to landowners whose properties lie inside Priority Preservation Areas (PPAs).
Staff presented two options — $12.50 per point or $13.50 per point — and recommended either option along with the PPA restriction for lump-sum offers to encourage applications from the highest-priority parcels. Vice Chair Lisa Gaver moved to set the price at $13.50 and to offer lump sums only to PPA properties; Sandra Tucker seconded, and the motion passed.
Why it matters: The dollar point price affects how the county calculates payments in the IPP, and restricting lump sums to PPA properties is intended to steer limited resources toward parcels ranked as highest priority for preservation.
Next steps: Staff will implement the updated price schedule for the FY2027 IPP cycle and apply the PPA-only lump-sum rule to forthcoming offers.
