    Surplus Land Act Information and Disposition Process

    The City of Vacaville follows California’s Surplus Land Act (Surplus Land Act, Government Code §§ 54221–54234) when considering the sale, lease (over 15 years), exchange, or transfer of City-owned real property. The Surplus Land Act establishes a process to ensure publicly owned land that is not needed for City operations is evaluated for potential affordable housing opportunities before disposition.

    This webpage provides information on how the City evaluates property for potential disposition, how required notices are issued, and where the public can find current postings.
