School LAND Trust
PC: Julie Jordan
What Are Utah Trust Lands?
Trust lands are parcels of land throughout our state that were granted by Congress to Utah at the time of statehood. Trust lands were allocated specifically to generate revenue to support designated state institutions, including public schools, hospitals, teaching colleges, and universities. Unlike public lands, trust lands are parcels of land held in trust to support 12 state institutions, schools, but also state hospitals, teaching colleges, and universities. While 67 percent of Utah is held in public domain, only about six percent of the state’s acreage is set aside as trust lands.
how are Utah Trust Lands Used?
- Revenue from management and development of school trust lands is deposited into the Permanent School Fund.
- The Fund is invested, and annual interest and dividends are distributed to public schools.
- Each School Community Council determines the greatest needs at its school and allocates the funds accordingly.
