Timber Sale Contract Expiration Date (IA)

From: Laurie Birch City: Muscatine, IA
After purchasing a timber from a private owner is there a time limit in which we can cut the trees? Does the contract expire?

Hi Laurie: All timber sale contracts that I've assembled for forest landowners DEFINITELY contains language w/ regard to how many months the timber sale contract is valid. Twelve to 24 months is pretty standard, but only if stipulated in the signed timber sale contract. Best of luck!
