Notice of Expiring Grazing Leases

In accordance with A.R.S. 37-281.01.B, Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) is hereby publishing a list of expiring grazing leases by county, set to expire within the calendar year. ASLD will accept applications for the following expiring grazing leases by qualified applicants. Grazing leases are for the ranging of livestock. Qualified applicants shall have a registered livestock brand. The Department anticipates that existing lessees will apply to renew leases in most instances. A conflicting application shall be filed at least 270 days, but no more than on year, before the expiration of the lease. If two or more applicants apply to lease the same land for grazing purposes, the Department shall, after investigation or hearing, approve the applicant who has the best right to the lease.

Applications may be submitted to the Arizona State Land Department online. For details or questions on applications, the quickest way to reach the Department's Range Section is to submit a Public Inquiry Request Plan.
