Can
I buy Federal land?
Most
Federal agencies
have stewardship
responsibities
for public lands
that they administer.
Occasionally,
a determination
is made that
some lands are
no longer needed
to meet the missions
and needs of
a project. For
most of the Federal
Government, the
General Services
Administration
(GSA) takes care
of land transfers.
The land is first
offered to other
Federal agencies
and states and
then to the general
public. The GSA
also handles
selling surplus
federal buildings
and equipment.
The
Bureau of Land
Management (BLM)
will occasionally
sell land, but
at a fair market
price.
