Land Rental
• Lump Sum Payment
• Net Present Value of 20 years of payments
• Discount rate of 7%
• Payment ceiling of $100.00 per acre
![Page 8: Forest Establishment Bidding Process Michael Collins Conserv Landowner Workshop 1 June 8, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649ec65503460f94bd0fd4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Example 1
A landowner with a 10-acre portion of a property that is currently open space might bid $75 per acre. Using a discount rate of 7 percent, for
example, would mean the landowner would be paid approximately $7,950 plus have all
reasonable costs for trees and labor covered. (It is important to note that the ceiling on submitted
bids for the land rental is capped at $100 per acre.) The land rental rate that landowners bid for will be an important factor in determining if
the bid is successfully chosen for funding.

Example 2
A landowner with a 10 acre open field decides that having all costs paid for the tree planting project is very desirable and considers making a low bid to possibly increase the chance of their project
being accepted for funding. However, they would like to get enough income to offset the
property taxes and rental income they are presently receiving. The landowner bids $30.00 per acre. The Present Value lump-sum payment calculation returns a landowner rental payment
of approximately $3250.
