What is Surplus Property?

Surplus property consists of land and buildings that are owned by the city of Richmond but that have been determined to be surplus by their use agency and City Council. Once a property is declared surplus, it is then submitted to Economic and Community Development for review to decide whether the property can be placed on the surplus list or if it will be sold by Request for Proposal (RFP). All sales must be approved by city administration and City Council.
