Disposals of State Land
An Act relating to the disposal of State Land.
| Updated: | February 16, 2000 |
Senate Bill 6 is basically a housekeeping measure to provide the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Lands, with the tools necessary to offer for sale, land that had been previously sold and returned to the state or previously been offered for sale.
Currently there is approximately 50,000 acres of land that has been subdivided and surveyed that the Division of Lands feels it can not make available for purchase because of stale dated appraisals and the lack of funds to obtain new appraisals.
In 1998 The Division of Lands suggested the language contained in SB 6 as a means to once again make this land available for purchase. The bill allows the Division to require an applicant to post a deposit to pay for an updated appraisal. The applicant also has the option of providing an appraisal at the applicant's expense if the Director considers that a change in value has occurred since the last appraisal.
