The County pays fair market value for the land

What the document says
“The conveyance under subsection (a) shall be for the fair market value of the Federal land to be conveyed, as determined-- (1) in accordance with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.); and”
The land is sold rather than given. The price is the fair market value of the land conveyed, and the first of the two ways the subsection fixes it is by reference to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, which is not indexed here.
What the document actually says
“The conveyance under subsection (a) shall be for the fair market value of the Federal land to be conveyed, as determined-- (1) in accordance with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.); and”
That sentence, in plain words
The county has to pay what the land is worth. An older land law says how that is worked out.
What this is about
Fair market value is the price the land would fetch. The older law is from 1976. This site does not index it.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
