Modern Idea of CLT
Landowner is a private, non profit corporation with membership that is open to anyone living within the CLT’s geographically defined “community.”
A majority of the governing board is elected by the CLT membership.
There is a balance of interests on the governing board including leaseholders, community residents and representation of the public interest.
Structured Ownership
Land is treated as common heritage, to be used for the communities’ benefit, not as an individual possession.
Land is removed permanently from the market, never resold.
All structural improvements are owned separately from the land.
A ground lease lasting many years gives the owner of the improvements exclusive use of the land.
Ground Lease

CLT homes & property taxes
Residents of CLT homes consume local government services (schools, streets, sidewalks, police & fire protection, etc.) to the same extent that other residents of the community do.
Can be split into land and improvements but typically the land tax value is added to lease fee, therefore the home owner still pays all.
Taxes are based on market value of property-The community land trust hand book
