The State Land Board earns money for Colorado public schools by leasing trust land and minerals. 95% of your lease payments support Colorado schools. We use only 5% to fund our operations because we receive no tax dollars.
Bonds and insurance
All leases have bonding and insurance requirements.
Permits
In addition to lease contracts, we also issue permits when we receive requests for short-term land access. We only issue permits if there will be little or no impact to the land. Permit types include:
- exploration
- road access
- temporary access
- Commercial filming/photography
