Earlier this week, Arizona State Land Department leadership joined Governor Hobbs’ Cabinet members for a comprehensive Cabinet meeting and a tour of the Santa Rita Experimental Ranch, which is housed on State Trust Land.

A special thank you to the McGibbon family for guiding our tour of the ranch's facilities. Experiencing firsthand the daily realities of cattle operations and learning about modern advancements in ranching gave our team a deeper appreciation for the vital role agriculture plays across Arizona. At ASLD, supporting sustainable land management and understanding our state's rich agricultural heritage go hand in hand with ensuring a strong future for our natural resources and food supply.

🎉 We are thrilled to share some incredible highlights from the State Land Department for Fiscal Year 2026.

Our total revenue nearly doubled over the last fiscal year, jumping from $452.8 million in FY25 to an astounding $817.8 million in FY26! This exceptional growth was driven by land sales, which more than doubled from $317.6 million to over $706 million.

🚀 Historic milestones for Arizona: A record-breaking $670.7 million has been deposited into the Permanent Land Endowment Trust Fund (PLETF). This achievement comes alongside an unprecedented 38 successful public auctions. This builds on the most profitable four year stretch in ASLD history, with $1,581,023,765 in permanent fund deposits generated since 2023 🏜️📈

🏫 Impact on Our Communities: The real win is for our beneficiaries. As a direct result of the influx of revenue this year, K-12 Public Schools receipts practically tripled to $641.9 million, a historic high!

Thank you to everyone who made this record-breaking year a reality. 🌟
