The City of Dallas owns property which may be deemed as unneeded and unwanted tracts of land. These parcels are sold in accordance with State Law and the Dallas City Code.  Most common methods used to dispose of Surplus Property are by: 

 

  1. Sealed bid (for sale or exchange);
  2. Public auction; or
  3. Directly to an abutting property owner where the property is so small or irregularly shaped that it cannot be developed independently.

 

Other sale methods may be found in the Texas Local Government Code

The City Council determines by resolution:

  1. whether real property should be offered for sale and by what method; and
  2. whether limitations should be placed on the future use of the property; and
  3. what price is acceptable for the property (reserve/no reserve, if applicable)
