Abstract: A significant number of States have laws directed at the ownership of U.S. land by aliens and business entities. These laws vary greatly from State-to-State in the degree of their severity. Thirty States have some type of law restricting alien ownership of land. Eight States require aliens to report their landholdings within the State. Thirteen States restrict business entities from owning land or engaging in the business of farming. Ten States have laws requiring business entities to report their landholdings within the State. An individual State may be included in more than one of the above categories.
