Can a person buy a small parcel of public land to build a home?
Although small parcels suitable as homesites may be offered for sale, BLM will generally not subdivide a parcel of public land solely to accommodate a prospective purchasers wish to acquire a homesite. The size and configuration of parcels offered for sale will be determined by various factors such as the existing land ownership pattern, marketability, and costs of processing. Once a parcel is sold, any future subdivision or development of the parcel would be subject to State and local government regulations and ordinances.
