Land, title & right-of-way services in San Bernardino County, California

San Bernardino County has no active federal geothermal leases today, but 34 closed leases on record. The ground has been tried before. 1,438 active right-of-ways cross federal land here, including 238 fiber or telecom grants and 426 transmission or power lines. We run title, leasing, and right-of-way acquisition on both sides of the federal line: the record above, and the private ground it's woven through.

Leased and released: 34 closed federal geothermal leases, none active.

34 leases on 82,671 acres have been closed out here. That cuts both ways: the resource drew interest, and prior holders let it go rather than develop it. The reason is usually resource, access, or economics, and it is knowable before you commit capital.

426 transmission and power line rights-of-way cross federal ground here.

1,438 authorized right-of-ways and land use authorizations touch federal land in San Bernardino County, 11 of them issued in the last twelve months. 135 applications are pending.

Of those, 238 fiber optic or communication grants, 426 transmission, distribution, or energy-facility grants, 65 oil and gas facility grants. The named holders are the companies spending money on linear infrastructure in this county, and the federal segment is usually the shorter part of their route. The private miles in between are the work.

12,490 open mining claims compete for the same ground.

Mining claims don't stop a geothermal or right-of-way project, but they compete for surface, complicate siting and access, and each claimant is a party you have to deal with. 4,663 are active, 7,791 newly filed, 36 under review. Which ones actually sit in your footprint is a mapping question, and we answer it tract by tract.

No authorized federal oil and gas leases, but 942 closed leases on record. The ground has been tried before.

The private half of San Bernardino County isn't in any database.

Everything above is what the federal government controls. It does not show who owns a severed mineral or geothermal estate on private ground, whether that title is clean, what liens sit against it, or which families you'll be negotiating with. That lives in the San Bernardino County recorder's office, and it is the step that decides whether you can actually lease the ground.
