LAS VEGAS -- The Bureau of Land Management conducted a competitive online sale yesterday, offering 16 parcels of public land in the Las Vegas Valley for sale, totaling 670.155 acres. Nine parcels totaling 589.53 acres sold generating $93,141,000. The sale of this public land within a congressionally-designated disposal boundary will generate funding to enhance recreation opportunities, promote species and habitat conservation and reduce the threat of wildfire in locations across the state.
The Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act of 1998 allows the BLM to sell public land within a specific boundary within the Las Vegas Valley. In accordance with the law, 85 percent of the funds generated from the sale will fund projects such as development of parks, trails, and natural areas; capital improvements on federal lands; acquisition of environmentally sensitive land; hazardous fuels reduction; and landscape restoration projects. Additionally, 5 percent of the revenue will go to the State of Nevada General Education Fund and 10 percent will go to the Southern Nevada Water Authority.
The sale offered parcels located throughout the Las Vegas Valley that ranged from two to 505 acres in size. Local governments nominated the parcels for sale, often after interested parties expressed interest in purchasing them. BLM removed a 225-acre parcel from the sale, due to an appraisal issue. This parcel will be included in a future sale.
Successful bidders must pay 20 percent of the bid by 4 p.m. today. The remainder is due within 180 days on or before April 30, 2024. In accordance with the joint selection process, unsold parcels must be re-nominated for consideration at future land sales by the local government.

The Government granted more than 270 million acres of land while the law was in effect. Read more...

The distribution of Government lands had been an issue since the Revolutionary War. At the time of the Articles of Confederation, the major controversy related to land measurement and pricing. Early methods for allocating unsettled land outside the original 13 colonies were arbitrary and chaotic. Boundaries were established by stepping off plots from geographical landmarks. As a result, overlapping claims and border disputes were common.
The Land Ordinance of 1785 finally implemented a standardized system of Federal land surveys that eased boundary conflicts. Using astronomical starting points, territory was divided into a 6-mile square called a township prior to settlement. The township was divided into 36 sections, each measuring 1 square mile or 640 acres each. Sale of public land was viewed as a means to generate revenue for the Government rather than as a way to encourage settlement. Initially, an individual was required to purchase a full section of land at the cost of $1 per acre for 640 acres. The investment needed to purchase these large plots and the massive amount of physical labor required to clear the land for agriculture were often insurmountable obstacles.
By 1800, the minimum lot was halved to 320 acres, and settlers were allowed to pay in 4 installments, but prices remained fixed at $1.25 an acre until 1854. That year, federal legislation was enacted establishing a graduated scale that adjusted land prices to reflect the desirability of the lot. Lots that had been on the market for 30 years, for example, were reduced to 12 cents per acre. Soon after, extraordinary bonuses were extended to veterans and those interested in settling the Oregon Territory, making homesteading a viable option for some. But basically, national public-land-use policy made land ownership financially unattainable for most would-be homesteaders.
Before and after the Mexican-American war in the mid 1800s, popular pressure to change policy arose from the evolving economy, new demographics, and shifting social climate of early 19th-century America. In the 1830s and 1840s, rising prices for corn, wheat, and cotton enabled large, well-financed farms, particularly the plantations of the South, to force out smaller ventures. Displaced farmers then looked westward to unforested country that offered more affordable development.
The Civil War removed the slavery issue because the Southern states had seceded from the Union. So finally, in 1862, the Homestead Act was passed and signed into law. The new law established a three-fold homestead acquisition process: file an application, improve the land, and file for deed of title.
Any U.S. citizen, or intended citizen, who had never borne arms against the U.S. Government could file an application and lay claim to 160 acres of surveyed Government land. For the next 5 years, the General Land Office looked for a good faith effort by the homesteaders. This meant that the homestead was their primary residence and that they made improvements upon the land. After 5 years, the homesteader could file for his patent (or deed of title) by submitting proof of residency and the required improvements to a local land office.
Local land offices forwarded the paperwork to the General Land Office in Washington, DC, along with a final certificate of eligibility. The case file was examined, and valid claims were granted patent to the land free and clear, except for a small registration fee. Title could also be acquired after a 6-month residency and trivial improvements, provided the claimant paid the government $1.25 per acre. After the Civil War, Union soldiers could deduct the time they served from the residency requirements.
