Pennsylvania Statutes Title 32 P.S. Forests, Waters and State Parks § 164. Examination and valuation; acceptance and conveyance; consideration

Upon receiving any such offer from the county commissioners, which offer shall be made upon blank forms to be prepared by the Department of Forests and Waters  1 or the Board of Game Commissioners and supplied to the commissioners, the department or commission shall make an examination and valuation of the land so offered to determine whether it is suitable for forestry or game land purposes. If found not suitable for forestry or game land purposes, the department or commission shall so notify the commissioners. If found to be suitable for the authorized purposes of either the department or the commission, the one desiring such land shall likewise notify the commissioners of its suitability, make a conditional acceptance, and proceed to examine the title. If such examination shall disclose that the title is marketable, and of such character as can be safely accepted, the department or commission shall prepare a deed, to be executed by the commissioners, conveying such land to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The consideration shall include all taxes levied for a period not to exceed five years, which shall include the period for redemption, together with interest, and costs due to date of conveyance; but shall, in no case, exceed the limit of purchase price now or hereafter fixed by law for the purchase of land by the Department of Forests and Waters or the Board of Game Commissioners for authorized purposes.
