Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
10 Acres Sold to Clark County for $1,000
Clark County may buy a 10-acre parcel for affordable housing at a nominal rate of $100 per acre—a total sale price of $1,000—under BLM policy for Fiscal Year 2025. The sale is a direct conveyance below appraised fair market value to support the Flamingo & Riley Affordable Housing Development.
Housing Must Serve Low‑Income Families (≤80% AMI)
Any housing built on the parcel must serve low-income families, defined as households with incomes not exceeding 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). HUD reviewed the nomination and, in a consultation letter dated September 30, 2025, confirmed the project will dedicate 100 percent of the parcel to serve low-income families.
5‑Year Reversion or FMV Payment Requirement
If the affordable housing project does not obtain a final Certificate of Occupancy within 5 years of the sale patent date, the United States may, at its option, require that the land (or parts) revert to the United States or require the owner to pay the then-current fair market value. The patentee may request additional time, but the BLM has sole discretion to grant or deny extensions.
Buyer Indemnifies U.S.; CERCLA 120(h) Applies
By accepting the sale patent, Clark County and successors must indemnify and hold the United States harmless for acts or omissions related to use or occupancy, including claims related to hazardous substances; the parcel is subject to the requirements of section 120(h) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
Parcel Segregated from New Applications for Up to One Year
Upon publication of this Notice (November 12, 2026), the parcel is segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws and the BLM will not accept new land-use applications affecting the parcel during the segregation period. The segregation will end upon issuance of a patent or after one year.
