The free help a landowner can actually get: county and state programmes, who runs them, what they cover and where to ask, checked against the office that offers them.
Sierra's resources page is a guide of free services — county and state programs a vacant land owner can use at no cost. It covers nine western states and all of their counties, organized so you can find your own county by name. We don't quote savings: those vary depending on parcel size and program used.
A guide here names a programme, the office that runs it and what it actually covers, so it arrives when somebody has checked those three against the source. We would rather this shelf hold one thing a landowner can ring up than twenty rewordings of a list.
