Surplus Land Act
Exempt Surplus Land
Presented by: Kima Russell, Real Property Manager
Surplus Land Act (SLA) Overview
Origin The Surplus Land Act (AB 1486) was enacted to address California’s housing shortage by prioritizing surplus land for affordable housing development.
Purpose Ensures affordable housing developers receive notification of surplus municipal land before it is sold or leased. The Act does not prohibit agencies from selling or leasing land for other uses or fair market value.
Mandate Public agencies in California must comply with the SLA before selling or leasing any publicly owned real estate.
Exemptions Properties that meet specific criteria under Government Code § 54221(f) are classified as Exempt Surplus Land and not subject to the Notice of Availability and negotiation requirements.
