Landowner Incentive Program

The Landowner Incentive Program (LIP) has been developed by the King Conservation District to address soil and water resource concerns in King County by funding on-the-ground conservation projects. The King CD LIP is intended to promote stewardship by enabling landowners to implement best management practices (BMPs) on their land. A landowner will be required to have either an approved farm plan, forest stewardship plan, or be currently receiving technical assistance from the King CD in order to apply.

The King CD LIP is an incentive based program that can fund 50-90% of the project cost with the remainder to be provided by the applicant. The list of funded practices includes both agricultural related BMPs and non-agricultural BMPs.

There is no lifetime maximum on the number of BMPs a landowner can fund through the King CD LIP. However, the landowner must complete and receive reimbursement for a funded practice before another application to fund additional practices or BMPs will be considered.
