Abutting landowners are supposed to receive notice of sales of public lands, but an abutting landowner didn receive notice on a recent sale. Why?
BLM makes every effort to send notices of sales to all appropriate parties. BLMs mailing lists for adjoining landowners are derived from the local county tax records indicating the owner of record. These records are checked just prior to the publication of legal notices. If a person recently acquired title to a property, the County may have received notice after the date the records were checked by the BLM. In addition, a landowner should check with the local County Assessor s Office to make sure its records reflect the current mailing address. Q: What are the terms of the sale? A: The winning bidder in a competitive sale at an oral auction is required to submit a non-refundable deposit of no less than 20% of the bid amount before close of the business day on the day of the auction. Each sealed bid must be accompanied by guaranteed funds for the amount required in the public notice for the sale which must be no less than 10% of the bid amount.
