Would the state be interested in buying my property?
It depends on the property. For specific information, contact the Division of State Lands at 850-245-2555.
What is needed to close on a property?
Generally, three due diligence products are needed for a closing with the state: title commitment, survey and environmental site assessment. Once received, the products must be reviewed and approved by staff members, such as closing staff, attorneys and potential managers.
How do I report suspicious activity (i.e., dumping) that may be affecting the environment?
Dial #DEP on a cellphone or call 877-2-Save-FL. Appropriate law enforcement offices will be notified.
How can I determine if there are conservation lands in a particular area?
Visit FNAI. In the menu bar under Conservation Lands, click on Conservation Lands Map. A separate window will open with an interactive map of Florida's conservation lands.
How do I know if property is currently under lease or state-owned?
Send a location map listing the section/township/range to the Uplands Leasing Section of the Division of State Lands. They will submit a request to the Title and Land Records Section for a determination of any encumbrances, such as an upland lease or easement, on the property. You also may call 850-245-2555.
The Division of State Lands (DSL), as staff to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida (BOT), is Florida’s lead agency for environmental management and stewardship. DSL’s role goes far beyond just acquiring lands for protection. It provides oversight for the management of activities on more than 12 million acres of public lands including lakes, rivers and islands. These public lands help ensure Florida’s residents and visitors have the opportunity to truly appreciate Florida’s unique landscapes.
As the Deputy Secretary for Land and Recreation, Mara Gambineri oversees 175 state parks and trails, more than 12 million acres of public lands, and 4 million acres of coastal uplands and submerged lands. The program also acquires and protects lands for preservation and recreation.
