Public Benefit Conveyance


	Information by State Print version

Related Information

About Property Disposal

A public benefit conveyance (PBC) allows the Federal government to transfer title of surplus property to qualified State and local governmental agencies and private nonprofits for public uses for up to a 100% discount.
Properties that qualify for a PBC can be used to provide:

educational,
health care,
and correctional facilities,
or to improve transportation,
retain historic monuments,
and beautify communities through park and recreational improvements.

The intent of a PBC is to support property uses that benefit the community as a whole. A PBC can provide access to property for public and non-profit entities that may not otherwise have been able to acquire it for community uses. Specific contacts for more information on authorized PBCs for BRAC surplus property are located here:
