federal property

State-owned land assets

Federal property is land, buildings, or other assets owned by a national government, particularly the United States government.

This includes national parks, military bases, courthouses, and federal office buildings.

Crimes committed on federal property fall under federal rather than state jurisdiction: Trespassing on federal property can result in federal charges.
