Alaska Land Act

Alaska · Public Land · §§ 38.05.005 to 38.05.990 · 184 sections

Overview

The Alaska Land Act governs the administration and disposal of state-owned land, placing that authority with the commissioner of the responsible department and a director appointed to serve under the commissioner, and defining the powers, duties, and regulatory reach of each. It sets out how state land may be classified and conveyed into private ownership — through auction, sealed bid, lottery, and contracts of sale — with special provisions for agricultural land and sale preferences for veterans, Forest Service permittees, and agricultural users. It also establishes leasing programs covering shore fisheries, aquatic farming and hatchery sites, recreational facilities, and carbon management, along with related mechanisms such as guide concession permits, cooperative resource management agreements, royalty audits, and rules on lease terms and the treatment of improvements when a lease ends.
