Transfer of Development Rights
On March 22, 2010, Dane County Ordinance Amendment 45, 2009-2010 became effective. This amendment
created a legal and administrative framework to support town-initiated Transfer of Development
Rights (TDR) programs. TDR allows willing landowners to trade potential development rights (a.k.a
"splits") available under town density policies.
To facilitate TDR, OA 45 created two new zoning overlay districts:
- TDR-S, used to designate TDR sending areas (areas to be protected from development), and;
- TDR-R, used to designate TDR receiving areas (areas where development is encouraged).
