My primary responsibility as Land Commissioner is to oversee the disposition of tax delinquent property. I am proud to say that since I took office in January 2003, over $33.8 million has been collected resulting in over 44,000 delinquent parcels being returned to tax generating status. This means that these properties are once again generating property tax revenues for our public schools.

The original owners redeemed approximately 87% of these properties. This is due to the exemplary effort our staff puts forth in notifying the owners of their delinquent tax status. The money collected is returned to your local school districts and county governments. Although a primary focus, tax collection is only one of the many responsibilities of this office. Historical preservation, permitting and leasing of natural resources on state-owned lands, and maintaining uniform, professional surveying and mapping methods and standards are just a few of the ways the State Land Office enriches your state and community. Please take a moment to visit each of our divisions and learn more about your State Land Office.

I hope you’ll visit our site again soon.
