Source of revenue decrease:
Providing easements for roadways on any state or school trust lands in existence
prior to January 1, 2025 to counties and municipalities without charge.
Assumptions:
The Office of State Lands and Investments (OSLI) estimates each county has
approximately 92 acres encumbered by a roadway without an easement on state and
school trust lands. OSLI estimates a rate of $10.00 per acre for the reduced revenue
for these easements. The total estimated revenue decrease in the form of easement
fees is approximately $21,160 (23 counties x 92 acres x $10.00 per acre).
The Common School Account within the Permanent Land Fund accounts for 86 percent
of acres managed by OSLI, resulting in an estimated revenue decrease of $18,198 (86
percent x $21,160) and the other Permanent Land Funds account for 14 percent of
acres managed by OSLI, resulting in an estimated revenue decrease of $2,962 (14
percent x $21,160).
The OSLI assumes all of the roadways will be put under easement during FY 2026 and
FY 2027.
