On Thursday, the Department of the Interior (DOI) announced $578.8 million in Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) to more than 1900 state and local governments around the country. Annual PILT is made available to help offset costs associated with maintaining community services on and associated with federal lands, which local governments cannot tax. PILT covers lands administered by the USDA Forest Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation and National Park Service.
A full list of PILT funds by state and county can be accessed through the DOI PILT website.
