I heard about a place where you could buy plots of public land from the goverment. The web site was publicland.com is this a true thing or a scam?
There isn`t much public land for sale because of a congressional mandate in 1976 to generally retain public lands in public ownership. The Bureau of Land Management does, however, occasionally sell parcels of land where their land use planning finds that disposal is appropriate. The BLM can select lands for sale if, through land use planning, they are found to meet one of three criteria: 1/ they are scattered, isolated tracts, difficult or uneconomic to manage; 2/ they were acquired for a specific purpose and are no longer needed for that purpose; 3/disposal of the land will serve important public objectives, such as community expansion and economic development. The BLM has three options for selling land: modified competitive bidding where some preference to adjoining landowners are recognized, direct sale to one party where circumstances warrant, and competitive bidding at public auction. Your best bet is to contact the specific BLM state office with jurisdiction over the area you are
