This bill would change federal tax law so that people or businesses do not have to count certain profit from selling land rights as taxable income when the sale is done for the Defense Department’s Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration, or REPI, program. The REPI program helps protect military training areas and nearby land by working with qualified organizations to buy or manage property interests. In simple terms, if someone sells a covered real estate interest through this program, the profit from that sale would generally not be taxed.
- The tax break would apply to sales of a “qualified real property interest,” which can include the full ownership of land, a future ownership right, or a permanent limit on how the land can be used.
- The bill also says the rule still applies in some cases even if a mineral right is kept, as long as mining is not done by digging on the surface.
- For partnerships and other pass-through businesses, the tax exclusion would not apply if the property was bought and then sold within three years, with an exception for family-owned partnerships and similar entities.
- The change would apply to tax years starting after the bill becomes law.
Official Summaries
Incentivizing Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Sales Act of 2025
This bill excludes the gain from the sale of a qualified real property interest under the Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) Program from gross income for federal tax purposes. (Some limitations apply.)
As background, the REPI Program supports cost-sharing agreements between the Armed Forces, other federal agencies, state and local governments, and certain private organizations to address land use near military installations, address environmental restrictions that limit military activities, and increase military installation resilience.
Under the bill, the exclusion from gross income applies to gain from the sale of a real property interest (pursuant to an agreement under the REPI Program) to
- a state or U.S. possession (or a political subdivision of a state or U.S. possession) or the District of Columbia;
- the United States;
- certain corporations, trusts, community chest, funds, or foundations; or
- certain charitable organizations.
Further, under the bill, the real property interest that is sold may be (1) the entire interest in the real property, (2) a remainder interest in the real property, or (3) a restriction on the use of the real property (e.g., easement) that is granted in perpetuity and created under state law.
However, the bill limits such exclusion from gross income for a partnership or other pass-through entity (other than a family partnership or family pass-through entity) to gain from the sale of a real property interest that is held for at least three years.
