Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a lease to authorize possession of Indian land?

If you are a person or legal entity who is not an owner of the Indian land, then you must obtain a lease. If you are an Indian landowner of a fractional interest in the land, then you must obtain a lease. It is not necessary to obtain a lease if you are an Indian landowner who owns 100 percent of the trust or restricted interest in a tract.
