Land Transactions
The Office of Land and Facilities oversees all real property and building construction activities for the Department. Land transaction activities, including the purchase of private land, the exchange of State-owned land for private land, the sale of surplus State-owned land, and the granting of easements across State-owned land are all handled within the Office of Land and Facilities.

Purchasing DNR Managed State-Owned Land
A "How to" for purchasing DNR Managed State-Owned Land

• Land Consolidation Strategy - Parcels Available for Disposal
There are parcels available to acquire from the Department of Natural Resources. Please select the link above for further information.

• Sale of State-owned Lands
The DNR manages State-owned lands acquired through different sources. Most of these properties are dedicated as State Forests, State Parks and Recreation Areas, Water Access Sites and Wildlife Areas; and are not available for exclusive private use or for sale. However, periodically parcels are determined to be "surplus" to Department management needs and are offered for sale by auction to the public. The proceeds from these sales are used to acquire additional lands as replacement for the properties sold.
