GSA's Office of Property Disposal notifies state and local agencies of the availability of any surplus federal real property that they may be eligible to acquire under certain laws. |

Application
process |
Based on the property's location, the appropriate regional office writes to the Governor of the State or territory, clerk of the county, Mayor of the city or town, and any regional and metropolitan comprehensive planning agencies that may be concerned with the property's ultimate use.
Announcements are also placed in Post Offices and other prominent places like the State Capitol building, county building, courthouse, town hall, or city hall.
A public agency or institution has 20 days from the date on the notice to advise the Office of Property Disposal's regional office of interest in the property. The response should cite the applicable legislation and indicate how much time is needed to prepare and submit a formal application.
The Office of Property Disposal reviews the formal application with other federal agencies with an interest in the property's disposition. If the application is approved, the conveyance is completed. |
