The Massachusetts Asset Management System (MAssets) records, maps and reports on the acquisitions and dispositions of all Commonwealth Real Property. The state owns approximately 13,794 parcels of land in nearly all of the 351 cities and towns across the Commonwealth. This totals over 687,000 acres and over 80 million gross square feet of buildings and other improvements.

With the exclusion of land and buildings, departments must periodically assess their inventories of equipment, supplies, and materials. Surplus property includes, but is not limited to, office equipment and furniture, clothing, vehicles, and building materials that exceed departmental need.
