- FINDING AND PURCHASING
PUBLIC LANDS
-
-
- Does the Federal Government ever sell
public land? The
- answer is yes. Lands identified as
excess to the public's
- and Government's needs or more suited
to private ownership
- are sometimes offered for sale. This
brochure can help
- explain the procedures and where to go
for details.
- First, it's important to understand the
Federal
- Government has two major categories of
property which it
- makes available for sale: real property
and public lands.
- Real Property is primarily developed
land with buildings,
- usually acquired by the Federal
Government for a specific
- purpose, such as a military base or
office building.
- Public Land is undeveloped land with no
improvements,
- usually part of the original public
domain established
- during the western expansion of the
United States. Most of
- this land is in the 11 Western States
and Alaska,* although
- some scattered parcels are in the East.
This land is the
- responsibility of the Department of the
Interior's Bureau of
- Land Management (BLM).
- If it's public land you're interested
in, read on. We
- can help you. If you're interested in
real property, you
- should contact the General Services
Administration (GSA);
- it's responsible for selling developed,
surplus property.
- Addresses of the GSA Regional Offices
are listed in the back
- of this brochure.
- If you're still reading, we can assume
you're
- interested in the possibility of buying
public land from the
- BLM. We receive numerous questions
about our land sales, and
- this brochure is designed to answer
many of the questions most
- commonly asked. Later on, we'll also
tell you where you can
- obtain more detailed information.
- * Due to land entitlements to the State
of Alaska and to
- Alaska Natives, no public land sales
will be conducted in
- Alaska in the foreseeable future.
-
- Q. Where are these public lands?
- A. Almost all are in the Western States
of Alaska, Arizona,
- California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico,
- Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming.
- There are also small amounts in
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
- Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri,
- Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota,
Ohio, Oklahoma, South
- Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin.
- There are no public lands managed by
the BLM in Connecticut,
- Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana,
Iowa, Kentucky, Maine,
- Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York,
- North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Carolina,
- Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia,
and West Virginia.
-
- Q. Is any of this land available free
through homesteading?
- A. No. Congress has repealed the
Homestead Act.
-
- Q. What lands are available?
- A. Although homesteading is a thing of
the past, the BLM
- does have lands suitable for purchase
by private citizens.
- These are lands that have been
identified as unneeded by the
- Federal Government or as better
utilized in private
- ownership. By law, these lands are made
available for sale
- at no less than fair market value.
-
- Q. How are these lands selected for
sale?
- A. The law states that the BLM can
select lands for sale if,
- through land use planning, they are
found to meet one of
- three criteria: 1) they are scattered,
isolated tracts,
- difficult or uneconomic to manage; 2)
they were acquired for
- a specific purpose and are no longer
needed for that
- purpose; or 3) disposal of the land
will serve important
- public objectives, such as community
expansion and economic
- development.
-
- Q. What do the lands look like?
- A. Land types vary widely. Some may be
desert; some are
- rural. Some are small parcels of just a
few acres; some are
- several hundred acres in size.
-
- Q. Is any land suitable for farming?
- A. Any lands with agricultural
potential will be clearly
- identified in the sale notice. However,
most public lands
- have little or no agricultural
potential.
-
- Q. On the average, what would public
land cost per acre?
- A. There is no "average"
cost. Each parcel is evaluated
- separately through established
appraisal procedures, based
- on the value of surrounding parcels.
Fair market value is
- determined for each parcel. No parcel
can be sold for less
- than fair market value.
-
- Q. How is the land actually sold?
- A. The BLM has three options for
selling land: modified
- competitive bidding where some
preferences to adjoining
- landowners are recognized, direct sale
to one party where
- circumstances warrant, and competitive
bidding at public
- auction. The sale method is determined
on a case-by-case
- basis, depending on the circumstances
of each particular
- parcel or sale.
-
- Q. Are there any preferences for
veterans?
- A. No laws currently exist allowing the
BLM to give veterans
- any preference for land purchases.
-
- Q. Where can I find out about land that
is going to be sold?
- A. Your best source is the BLM office
with jurisdiction over
- the area you're interested in. The BLM
State Offices and
- their jurisdictions are noted in the
back of this brochure.
- They can send you sale information.
Sale information will
- also be published and broadcast in
local news media.
-
- Q. Where are land sales held?
- A. They are held near the area to be
sold, either at the
- local BLM office or in a suitable
public location. Sales by
- the BLM are not held in Washington,
D.C.
-
- Q. Are there any restrictions on who
can bid on these parcels?
- A. Federal law states that the BLM can
sell public land only
- to U.S. citizens or corporations
subject to Federal or State
- laws.
-
- Q. Must I appear in person to
participate at the sale?
- A. Your personal appearance is not
required, but it is
- always to your advantage to examine the
parcel and know
- exactly what you are bidding on.
- Sales can be conducted by oral bid,
sealed bid, or a
- combination of both. However, even if
only oral bidding is
- allowed, you can be represented by an
agent.
- Details on procedures for a particular
sale are
- specified in the sale notice available
from the BLM. The
- notice will specify type of sale, the
percentage of the full
- price that must be deposited with each
bid, and the time
- period allowed for full payment. The
highest qualified
- bidder is eligible to buy the land; the
deposits of
- unsuccessful bidders are returned.
-
- Q. How is payment made? Is there
financing available?
- A. A certain minimum percentage of the
full price is
- required with each bid. If you are the
successful high
- bidder,the balance must be paid in full
to the BLM within a
- set period of time before a deed or
patent can be issued.
- Long-term financing must be arranged
through private
- lenders.
-
- Q. Once the BLM issues my deed, can I
do anything I want with
- the land?
- A. Yes, according to the terms of the
deed and subject to
- State or local restrictions. The sale
notice will clearly
- specify any Federal reservations or
conditions of sale. These
- might include reserving mineral rights
to the Federal
- Government, or allowing some currently
authorized uses, such
- as grazing, to continue for a certain
period of time, or
- reserving rights-of-way or easements
for powerlines,
- pipelines, etc.
- You are advised to review these
conditions carefully so
- that you fully understand what your
deed does and does not
- include.
-
- Q. What about local taxes, zoning,
etc.?
- A. Once you receive title, the land is
subject to all
- applicable State and local taxes,
zoning ordinances, etc.
-
- Q. Are water, power, and sewer service
available on all parcels?
- A. You should check with the city or
county involved to see
- if such services are available.
-
- Q. Are there roads or easements that
guarantee I can get to the
- property?
- A. The sale notice will explain legal
access to the property
- or any access restrictions. You are
advised to check out the
- parcel before you buy, including
finding out if available
- access meets your needs.
-
- Q. I'd like to find out what parcels
the BLM currently has listed
- for sale. Where can I obtain that
information?
- A. The BLM State Offices listed on the
following pages are
- your best source. They can tell you
what sales are currently
- scheduled and what prospects are coming
up. You can write,
- call, or visit them periodically for
latest details.
- If a sale is currently scheduled,
information can be
- requested from the BLM describing the
property and method of
- sale.
- More detailed information, such as land
reports,
- environmental assessments, etc., is
also available upon
- request for a small copy fee.
-
- U.S.DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FOREST
SERVICE
-
- New legislative authority will be
necessary to allow
- the sale of national forest system
lands. If Congress
- authorizes the sale of national forest
system lands, details
- can be obtained from the Forest
Service, P.O. Box 96090,
- Washington, D.C. 20090.
-
- TAX DELINQUENCY SALES
-
- Some local governments sell private
land on which taxes
- have been delinquent to satisfy the tax
debt. The Federal
- Government has no involvement in these
sales. The best
- source for information is the local
county tax assessor in
- the area involved.
-
- STATE LAND PROGRAMS
-
- State governments sometimes sell
state-owned land.
- Information on these types of sales can
be obtained through
- the State Lands Office in the State
capital.
