§ 6812 Easement Instead Of Lease

This law lets the commission give a right to use state land (an easement) instead of a lease, and the easement follows the same rules as a lease.

Key Takeaways

•The commission can give an easement instead of a lease.
•The easement can be for surface rights, underground rights, or both.
•All the same rules, limits, and conditions that apply to a lease also apply to the easement.

Example

A utility company wants to run power lines across a state forest. Instead of leasing the land, the commission can grant them an easement to use the surface for the lines.

The easement works just like a lease would, so the company must follow the same conditions and limits that a lease would have required.

Whenever by the terms of this chapter the commission may grant a lease of State lands, the commission may make and execute an easement of surface or subsurface rights, or both, in lieu thereof and upon the same terms and conditions and subject to the same limitations and prohibitions as are provided for a lease of such lands. (Added by Stats. 1941, Ch. 548.)
