Transfer of Development Rights

 

The Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Program is a voluntary, incentive-based, and market-driven approach to conserve land and steer development growth away from rural and resource lands into King County’s urban area. The Program has protected over 148,000 acres of rural/resource land and open space since 1998.

For further information see the TDR Program Overview, or for specific questions not answered on the website please contact the staff people listed below or consult the TDR Code.
