Jobs at Colorado State Land Board

An innovative land trust funding public schools since 1876.

In 1876, the Colorado Constitution created the Colorado State Board of Land Commissioners (State Land Board), which manages lands that the Federal Government granted to Colorado in public trust.

We are the second-largest landowner in Colorado, with 2.8 million surface acres and 4.0 million mineral estate acres. A dual mission guides State Land Board management of these assets: to produce reasonable and consistent income over time, and to provide sound stewardship of the state trust assets. Our lands are held in eight public land trusts, which benefit public schools and public institutions.

State Land Board revenue entirely funds its operations, we receive $0 tax dollars.
