The
Alaska Constitution, State laws, and the Alaska Legislature
all direct the Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
to sell state land for settlement and private ownership. Article
VIII of the Alaska Constitution states "It is the policy
of the State to encourage the settlement of its land and
development of its resources by making them available for
maximum use consistent with the public interest."
In keeping
with our mission to make land available to the public,
DNR has several types of land sale programs. DNR will be making land
available through two types of programs. The first is a
sealed-bid auction program for the sale of subdivision and other surveyed
parcels. Auction schedules are announced periodically on
this page throughout the year. Land sold at auction must receive
a bid equal to or higher than the appraised value. Parcels
are awarded to the highest bidder. Land not sold at auction is
available "over-the-counter" at
the appraised value, through the DNR Public Information
offices. Most of the parcels being offered are within existing
state subdivisions. New area are being considered by DNR.
The second
program is the Remote Recreational
Cabin Sites. This program is similar to the previous
remote parcel and homestead offerings. An applicant is allowed
to stake a parcel of land in a designated remote staking
area for recreational use. The parcels will be leased for
a limited length of time and purchased at fair market value
after the completion of a survey and appraisal. There are
no building or "prove-up" requirements
required with this program.
