The State of Maryland owns extensive acreage throughout the state, which is sometimes required for roads, utility lines, buffer areas, or other uses to assist nearby community development. In other cases, property is no longer needed by the state in the short or long term.

Land Acquisition and Disposal

The Department of General Services acquires and disposes of all types of property to fulfill the various programmatic needs of state agencies. Acquisitions may include vacant land, commercial buildings, and easements when required.  Most acquisitions require two appraisals of the property to establish its fair market value for negotiating purposes. If the seller of the property and DGS cannot agree on the terms of sale, the state may acquire the property by exercising its power of eminent domain or condemnation (the purchase of land for public use). Disposals may include surplus state property as well as land required for roads, utility lines, buffer areas, or other uses to assist local governments and others with development projects.
