More oversight of Florida conservation land deals

Beginning July 1, 2026, Florida's Division of State Lands and water management districts must post conservation land sale or exchange details online at least 30 days before review meetings. State sale notices and district sale or exchange notices must explain why the land is no longer needed for conservation. Exchange notices list public and private parcels involved and portions to be protected by permanent conservation easements. State exchange notices also explain conservation benefits and include any division or council recommendations. Each parcel in the state land exchange process must have at least one appraisal using standards adopted by the Board of Trustees.
