The Department of State Lands (DSL) has an active program for land sales and exchanges. The agency’s Real Estate Asset Management Plan directs DSL to evaluate and sell smaller or difficult-to-manage lands. These sales have priority over land sales requested by individuals through the application process, which are initiated by submitting a land sale or exchange application, along with a $750 non-refundable application processing fee.
All land sales and exchanges are processed through the rules established in OAR 141-067. Parcels are carefully evaluated for the financial, natural, cultural and recreational impacts of the proposal. Adjacent property owners, interested parties, lessees (if applicable), and federal, state and local agencies are notified during the evaluation. DSL uses the information received to recommend to the Land Board whether or not to sell or exchange the parcels under study; the Land Board must also approve the final transaction.

The Yamhill SWCD is purchasing a property west of Sheridan, Oregon, for conservation and to improve water quality in the area. Ownership records indicate that the mineral rights of the property were retained by the Veterans Affair Committee in 1943 when the surface rights were sold. The mineral rights were subsequently granted to the Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) for the benefit of the Common School Fund. The Yamhill SWCD has applied for federal grants to purchase the property. A requirement of the potential grant funding is the ability to include the subsurface mineral estate in the transaction. The Bonneville Power administration will hold a conservation easement which will restrict any future development of the property and manage it exclusively for wildlife habitat.
