Land Exchange Policy (pdf – Dec. 2004)
The department reviews and processes land exchanges for the State Land Board under a land exchange policy that was developed a few years ago. Land exchanges are analyzed using the following base criteria.
• Equal or greater land value
• Similar navigable lake or stream values
• Equal or greater income to the school trust
• Equal or greater acreage
• Consolidation of state trust lands
• Potential for long-term appreciation
• Improved or equal access to state or public lands
