Pay half of sublease earnings to state

If you sublease state grazing land, you must pay the state 50% of the amount you receive above your annual lease rent. This applies when you assign, sublease, or contract any part of the lease area.

This applies to state grazing lessees. You no longer need director approval to let livestock you do not own graze. You must file the Office’s form within 30 days after the animals arrive. You must pay a monthly fee per head, set by the board, no more than 50% of the annual AUM rate. Pay within 30 days after removal. If the lease holder and livestock owner share at least 80% common ownership and you notify the Office, no sublease or non-owned livestock fee is required.
