When land is offered at public sale but is not sold and is available at private sale, a reappraisal is not required unless the director considers that a change in value of the land may have occurred.

Land may not be sold or leased for less than the approved, appraised market value, except as provided in AS 38.05.055 , 38.05.057, 38.05.075 — 38.05.085, 38.05.097, 38.05.810, and 38.05.820.
