Who We Are, Where We Are and What We Do?

Established through the Special Areas Act in 1938, we provide government services and public land management to residents and businesses over 5 million acres. At Special Areas, we deliver the municipal services our residents depend on, from grading roads to potable water to emergency and enforcement.

We manage over 2.5 million acres of public lands, supporting our ratepayers through the administration of community pastures and leasing public lands for grazing and cultivation.
