As a first step, the Department of Lands is posting all structures that are occupying public land without a lease or tenure instrument in place to gather information on the nature of the occupancy.

Please contact the Department of Lands as identified 
on your posting notice to discuss your occupancy. 
Keep your posting notice and have it on hand when 
you contact the Department. 

Benefits of having a lease

Frequently asked questions about unauthorized occupancy.

The Department of Lands has recently updated and harmonized its land management standards and criteria for leases for cabins. The Department of Lands will be evaluating Unauthorized Occupancies that were constructed
prior to April 1, 2014 against these standards and criteria to determine if a lease may be appropriate. If the occupancy complies with all standards, the owner may be able to apply for a lease.
