State lands-fencing 2.25LSO-0388, 1.0
SF0063
FISCAL NOTE
The fiscal impact, in the form of an expenditure increase, is indeterminable.
Under this bill, landowners whose property adjoins state lands on which the
landowner does not hold a lease may construct a lawful partition fence along
state lands. In these cases, the Office of State Lands and Investments (OSLI) is
required to pay for one-half of the construction cost of the fence. Landowners
and OSLI would also contribute to the cost of maintenance of the fence in
proportion to their respective interests in the fence.
According to OSLI, the average cost to construct a lawful fence statewide is
between $3.00 and $7.00 per foot. However, OSLI cannot estimate the number of
fences, the length of those fences, or the associated maintenance costs.
