The government received payment from the initial sale, and they also receive a substantial amount in transfer fees every time the lease changes hands. Should do a little investigating and learn the facts involved in lease lands

I could drive you right to some if you would like. Actually give you the name of a public lands officer if you wish who can give you all the info. There is a fair amount of vacant crown in the peace country. Nobody wants it as it would cost too much to get cattle into it. Look into it, golden opportunity for ya

Another thing is Yes the Leasee pays the municipal taxes yearly not the crown
As for any monie's paid for surface leases I have none but would agree it should go back to the crown.
Said it before and will say it again...Sell all crown leases to the highest bidder and get rid of the bickering!

And any time someone utters the sentence "tax write off" as an excuse. It's clear they do not understand how taxes actually work.

I can tell you this much it's very good to know the difference between an asset, an improvement to an asset and what an expense really is. Also, there is no such thing as a "100% write off". Urban flipping myth.

leaseland questions again.
Again this has reared its head. I suppose the other umpteen threads on this issue aren't enough. For those of you who do not know how these things go, here are my two cents. You do not own the land. you personally have absolutely any interest in it. It belongs to the province. They have people who look after it. Think about it like this. Your family owns a house in the city of Calgary or Edmonton. In that house is an 80 inch big screen TV that the owner of the house bought and paid for. The baseball playoffs are on and you show up at that house to watch the Jays on Thursday afternoon with a couple of your buddies and whatever else you bring. Now the house is rented and in this case the renter is paying the property taxes and all associated costs and repairs. So you and your buds show up to watch the game on that big beautiful full colour TV, Now the renter forgot something in his house that day and comes in and lo and behold here you are sitting there with your buddies enjoying the TV and all that fun associated with that. Do ya think he has a case to throw your arse out the door and maybe get a bit cranky about it? Now in your head you think its OK because your family owns the house. You just want to watch the TV that technically you do not own. you have no right to be there. its not yours. go away. how happy is your dad going to be when he gets a phone call from the current owner telling him that he just had to kick your sorry butt out of the property in which he rents and pays for in good faith? It is bad business for him to have this issue and i would think that he may have something to say to you when you get home. if this activity is that important to you, sit down and think about other ways you can maybe go watch the game on another big screen TV that won't cause any problems. This province is full of people who buy and rent things out. Is the system perfect, probably not. but those are da rules. you can't do that. you go sit in the box and think about what you did for two minutes.

I was over with this thread but you are missing the point entirely...what if the owner of the house, when renting it to the renter, stipulated that the renter must allow others into the house at certain times if the ask. Also, your analogy is incorrect, as hunters do not want on to the property to utilize the lessees "assets" whatever they are (unless you consider the wildlife "your" assets). They simply want to hunt the land. To use your analogy, the visitors don't give a rat's *ss about the game or the TV (which in reality would be cattle and fencing). They simply want into the house at a certain time because the owner told them that if they followed the rules, the tenant is expected to allow them in. To be honest, they would be doing something totally different while you watched your precious TV.
If you are going to lecture people, try using relevant comparisons.

just seen a section of crown lease listed with a realtor for $960,000.00 I hope the government receives a very substantial amount in transfer fees if it sells. that is crazy for land we own.

Let this crap die. Last time I checked it's called Crown Land. Which one of us humps happens to wear a crown? You and I own none of it.

Good bump, imo. At least for me as a new member here. This is probably the best discussion of the topic that I have seen on this board. I did read through the whole thing.
ImpartialObserver did not seem that impartial and was either a troll or hard in the head. Calvin with his TV example above is pretty much up there as well and the reason why many hunters do not feel easy about leaseholders.
What's interesting is that never do I see any justification for the collection of surface payments discussed in this topic. With, of course, the exception of fence line, wells, whatever.
On another note, I don't really care about access to any of the leased properties, personally; simply because I do not do any hunting on such properties. There are a few around. Many have not been utilized for years though. The fence line is next to nonexistent. There is no difference between the lease and the crown land next to it. Mind boggles why one should ask for permission to enter such a property.

If true - lol. Do not be hating though. The guy must have built a fence and put quite a few wells in.

These payments should be made to the Alberta gov't.
If anything is to be offered to a current or future leasee, it should be a lower lease rate to compensate for the lost grazing (or other) opportunity the surface disturbance has resulted in.
Obviously those that profit from "Cowboy Welfare" will wholeheartedly disagree, and why wouldn't you? this likely adds significantly to the bottom line in a tough business for some leaseholders. But - that doesn't make it right.

most right of ways (road access and leases ) create more grazing for cattle as they are usually seeded and the grass for grazing increases
as well they also create better access for the lease holders to get into their cattle and such
as per privately owned land in my opinion the queen and government should never have taken the mineral rights away from the people , but yes they should be compensated for the disruption of crops and crop damage and future crop loss, as most times after the top soil has been buried (deep ditching to store the top soil while the lease and access are active)for 20 years the top soil will never grow again, as it goes sour

If they sell these tracts of lease land to the highest bidder as most of you feel should happen, who do you think is going to buy it? Probably some nature conservancy or special interest group and you think you have trouble getting on the land to hunt now, haha, good luck to anyone ever stepping foot on it ever again.

No need to sell it. Let the lease holders continue to graze their cattle BUT not to collect oil/gas revenue OR restrict public from walking/hunting access.
That then would truly be "leasing for grazing purposes".
If the current lease holders don't want to re-lease then put it up for someone else to take over with the same rules.
Win-Win.... The lease holder gets grazing property to graze their cattle. The province gets revenue from grazer and oil/gas. The public gets millions of extra acres to hunt, picnic or berry pick. No more arguing over a publicly owned property.
This may upset a few thousand people but it would benefit a few million.
