How can I acquire
excess real property
from USDA? Answer
What
is the difference
between personal
and real property?
Real property means
land, including
land improvements,
structures and appurtenances
thereto. Real property
appurtenances include
buildings, trees,
and other fixtures.
Real property is
generally synonymous
with the term "real
estate." Personal
property means property
of any kind except
real property.
How
can I lease office
space to USDA?
USDA is always evaluating
its real property
assets to ensure
that the size, location,
and amenities of
our real property
facilities meets
the current operational
needs.
While PMD offers
policy and guidance
for leasing real
property within
the Department,
USDA's individual
agencies are responsible
for executing leases
in support of their
mission programs.
If you are interested
in leasing office
space to USDA, please
contact your local
USDA Service Center.

How
can I acquire excess
personal property
from USDA?
USDA can only transfer excess personal property to other USDA Agencies, to other federal agencies, or to an organization that qualifies under the Federal Excess Personal Property Program. The Federal Asset Sales initiative makes excess personal property that is not desired by other USDA, federal, or state agencies available to the public as "surplus". For public sales of government property, visit GovSales.gov for electronic bidding or through offline Surplus Sales of Personal Property for non-electronic billing.
USDA's Rural Development
Housing and Community
Facilities Programs
are responsible
for excess rural
housing. To learn
more about USDA
rural housing units

office. Contact

The General Services
Administration (GSA)
disposes of federal
property that is

by federal, state
and local governments.
