Transfer Development Rights
Rights granted to owners of property restricted to conservation use, historic preservation, or some other low density function to sell to other landowners allowing them to develop their properties in other areas at higher densities than existed previously. The owners of restricted-development properties get these rights as compensatory consideration for the building constraints on their lands. They may sell these rights to any landowner in other areas who is not restricted regarding development densities.

Air rights in the United States refer to the space above a piece of land that the landowner can control and use. Imagine you have a piece of land. Just like you own the dirt, grass, and minerals beneath, you also own the space above it, up to a certain point. You can use this space to build things, like tall buildings. Here are the rules on how air rights work:
The government has laws about how high you can build.
Planes can fly over your land because they are high up.
Sometimes, you can sell your air space to someone else who wants to build something.
To get more information and legal advice about air rights in the US, you can follow these steps:
