Section 19.2.13.9 - TIMBER SALES - HOW MADE
Sales of state timber and timber products may be made only at public auction at the county seat of the county wherein the same are situated, and after advertisement of sale by publication for 10 weeks in a newspaper regularly published in the city of Santa Fe, and concurrently in a newspaper regularly published in the county wherein the lands are situated. Provided, however, that the commissioner may issue permits for the sale of dead and down firewood without advertising such sale. A public auction will not be required on the sale or issuance of permits for dead and down firewood. Ordinarily, timber will be sold upon application by a prospective purchaser (and the commissioner's concurrence) except that the commissioner reserves the right to offer such timber for sale as the commissioner deems to be in the best interest of the trust.
