U.S. Government Sales & Auctions of Surplus Land

Government Surplus Property Auctions and Land Sales -- A Free Online Guide

While the Federal Homestead Act is no longer in effect, you can still buy (and sometimes trade for) land from the federal government. Both the BLM and GSA agencies get involved with selling off surplus properties, from time to time. There may be a very nice piece of land right where you want to live. Most BLM land sales are for parcels in the Western States. Alaska public lands are not being offered at the present time by BLM. GSA sales may occur anywhere in the United States.

The GSA usually auctions off developed properties, including old military offices and bases. BLM manages the forests and other public lands, and almost always sells raw, undeveloped land.

Specific information, including state or regional office locations and contact details are posted at:
