Land Programs
5-acre Shareholder Program
Those who did not make a selection and/or paid lease and survey fees back in 1987 are not eligible to participate in the 5-acre shareholder program. Please see the General Manager for details on specific program requirements or to bring your account up to date.
Option A: Lease
This option is no longer available.
Option B: Purchase
Under this option, shareholders are eligible to purchase their 5-acre lease selections at fair market value. Terms may be negotiated, but will be handled on a case-by-case basis by the Board of Directors during their regular monthly meeting. Please see the General Manager if this is an option you would like to pursue.
Land Use Program
For those who are interested in using land for trapping, subsistence or recreational purposes, or professional guiding, please know that Paug-Vik has instituted a Land Use permitting system to allow for lawful entry upon village lands. Land Use Permits are good for one year and are available for sale from the Paug-Vik, Inc., Ltd. office in Naknek and from the Chinook Gift Shop in King Salmon. Trappers must secure a Trapping Access Permit prior to any trapping activity. No other commercial uses are allowed.
