# §2806.12. When and where do I pay rent?

- (a) You must pay rent for the initial rental period before the BLM issues you a grant or lease.
  - (1) If your grant or lease is effective on:
    - (i) January 1 through September 30 and qualifies for annual payments, your initial rent bill is pro-rated to include only the remaining full months in the initial year; or
    - (ii) October 1 through December 31 and qualifies for annual payments, your initial rent bill is pro-rated to include the remaining full months in the initial year plus the next full year.
  - (2) If your grant or lease allows for multiyear payments, such as a short-term grant issued for energy site-specific testing, you may request that your initial rent bill be for the full term instead of the initial rent bill periods provided under paragraph [(a)(1)(i)](#a-1-i) or [(ii)](#a-1-ii) of this section.
- (b) You must make all rent payments for rights-of-way according to the payment plan described in [§ 2806.24](/cfr/43/2806.24.md).
- (c) After the first rental payment, all rent is due on January 1 of the first year of each succeeding rental period for the term of your grant.
- (d) You must make all rental payments as instructed by us or as provided for by Secretarial order or legislative authority.
