Notices of Sale become available approximately 30 days before the date of each sale. These notices are listed below with a Notice of Sale Status of "Final", and can be viewed by clicking on the link for the sale in the Sale Name column below. This will bring you to a page containing links to the Notice of Sale document as well as associated Timber Appraisal and Cutting Block reports (as applicable) for all tracts on the auction sale.

Results of timber auction sales showing which tracts were sold, their bid (selling) price and who purchased them are usually posted within 1 – 2 days following the auction date, except for sealed bid auctions. Sealed bid auction results cannot be posted until all advance payments are received for the sold tracts. Auction results will remain available for viewing for 90 days following the date of sale. These notices are listed below with a Notice of Sale Status of "Completed". Click on an active link in the Sale Name column below to display the detailed results for completed sales.

In the event the DNR deems it necessary to cancel a scheduled sale, the calendar entry will show that the Notice of Sale Status is "Canceled," and clicking on the active link will display the canceled tracts, if any were advertised before the sale was canceled.

There are two auction types:

• Regular auctions vary in the number of cords offered, permit duration is typically 3 years, and are open to all qualified purchasers.
• Intermediate auctions can offer up to 3,000 cords per tract, permit duration is typically 3 years, and are open only to qualified individuals and to qualified businesses with 30 or fewer employees. These are small business set-aside sales.
