Colorado State Board of Land Commissioners

View site

The State Board of Land Commissioners (also known as the State Land Board and the SLB) was established in 1876 to manage more than 3 million acres of land and 4 million acres of mineral rights that the federal government gave to Colorado to generate revenue for public education and some of the state’s institutions.

The Board’s activities generate significant revenue annually for its trust beneficiaries, primarily through agricultural leases for grazing and crop lands, mineral development and interest earned on invested funds.

In recent years, the board has expanded its efforts to increase revenue through commercial development activities and leasing lands for recreational activities.
