State Trust Land for Lease
Commercial leases are one way the Trust Lands Management Division of DNRC generates revenue for the school trusts. Leasing on trust lands is a way for commercial and industrial enterprises to build on desirable locations near metropolitan areas and around the state. Initial leasing costs are typically much lower than purchasing costs. Trust land leases can have a term up to 99 years and are assignable. Subleasing and ground leasing are other considerations that allow flexibility to trust land commercial leases.
The process begins with a company's response to a DNRC request for proposals. Responses are scored and the lease is offered to the company with the highest score. Minimum requirements of the lease are often spelled out in the request for proposals, and after the high-score respondent is identified a negotiation begins with that business and the DNRC to work out all the details of the lease.
