The Minerals Management Division administers the mineral holdings of the Commission and other Oklahoma agencies, such as the Department of Wildlife and Oklahoma State University. The royalties received by the CLO are placed in the permanent trusts for future beneficiaries.

The Real Estate Management Division is responsible for the lease, sale and management of approximately 726,000 acres of trust land. Activities such as ranching, farming, hunting and recreation are a few examples of how school land is utilized across the state. The payments received from land leases are distributed monthly to beneficiaries statewide.

The Commissioners of the Land Office has approximately 5,500 acres of land under commercial lease. The commercial leases have substantially increased income, which has allowed for significant increases in distributions to beneficiaries.

Easements for oil and gas pipelines, salt water pipelines, electrical transmission lines and public roadway improvements are a few of the surface projects managed by the Real Estate Management Division.

Soil conservation and land management are key roles of the Real Estate Management Division. The conservation and management work ensures that the Commissioners of the Land Office fulfill their obligations as stewards of the land, while giving maximum return to Oklahoma education beneficiaries.
