SB 1319 Summary

• Requires government entities acquiring private real property to dispose of publicly owned land of equivalent appraised value within their jurisdiction to offset the loss of taxable private property.

• Mandates state agencies notify the state land commissioner of any private property acquisition, including location, acreage, valuation, and transaction terms.

• Prohibits private parties from voluntarily conveying property to government entities unless the government agrees in writing to convey public land to private parties according to the bill's requirements.

• Makes property conveyances violating these requirements void and prevents county recorders from recording such transfers or assessors from changing tax roll ownership.

• Declares that government ownership of real property removed from tax rolls is a statewide concern that preempts city charter provisions and allows the state or affected county to enforce compliance.
