As part of the disposal process, surplus federal land and buildings may be conveyed to state and local governments and qualified nonprofits, at no cost, if the property is used for certain statutorily defined public benefits. Among these public benefits are homeless assistance and self-help housing. In addition, surplus property may be sold to state or local governments for a broader range of purposes, including housing programs. The Real Property Disposal Process When federal real property is no longer needed by a landholding agency to fulfill its mission, the agency reports the property as excess to GSA. Unless the agency (1) has independent statutory disposal authority or (2) plans to demolish the property, then GSA handles the disposition. GSA publishes an annual Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP) report that includes information on disposal actions. Some data from the FY2022 FRPP report are cited below. Transfer of Excess Property Upon notification that an agency has declared a property excess, GSA offers it to other federal agencies, which may acquire it at fair market value. In FY2022, GSA oversaw the transfer of 35 excess federal buildings and six excess parcels of land from one federal agency to another. Public Benefit Conveyance If no federal agency acquires the excess property, GSA declares it surplus and offers it to state and local governments, and qualified nonprofits, which may acquire it at up to no cost, provided the property is used for one of the following public benefits: Correctional facilities, Education, Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN12264
