Timber permit extensions required.

Summary

HF 4804 changes Minnesota timber‑sale rules so that any permit covering land that needs frozen‑ground access must last at least four years, ending on May 31 of the fifth year. It also creates a new category of “eligible permits” – those issued before March 1, 2026 and not in default – and obligates the commissioner to grant a one‑year extension on request without penalty. The changes affect timber purchasers, the Department of Natural Resources, and state‑appraised timber sales.
