Request Surplus Property Available to Municipalities

Cities and towns are eligible to acquire surplus property from the State of Massachusetts.

Municipalities and Local Government Organizations

All cities, towns, and related municipal departments (Public Schools, DPWs, etc.) in Massachusetts are eligible to purchase available surplus property from the Commonwealth after it has been active on the listing website for 10 days. After 10 days, any surplus property, except vehicles and related equipment, not transferred to Executive Departments will be offered to cities and towns for an administration fee that is based on the item's age, condition, and acquisition value or original cost. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire property such as office equipment, furniture, electronics, medical supplies, and other items at a reduced rate. 

To participate in the program, eligible municipalities should enroll on the Surplus Property Listing Website. 

Please note municipalities are not able to report Surplus Property to the State Surplus Property Office. The SSPO only deals with State-owned property. Municipalities should follow Chapter 30B procedures. For more information, please call the 30B hotline at 617-722-8838.
