Q. How can I find out if State property is available for sale?
A. Many city or town governments have public records that indicate whether a property is owned by the State of Rhode Island. If that option is not available, an interested party may always contact the Property Management Unit [222-2411] and make an inquiry. Once contact is made, a Property Management professional will instruct the interested party in the process for purchasing or leasing State property. All formal requests must be made in writing and it should be accompanied by a definitive locus map.
Q. If property is available, how long could the acquisition process take for either a sale or lease?
A. The acquisition process could be lengthy, as it would require both internal as well as external reviews. The process would be explained once formal contact was made.
Q. Can property owned by State of Rhode Island be leased?
A. Yes. The process to lease state property is very similar to the review process used to purchase property, however it may not be as lengthy. It is important to note that all sales and leases are subject to the review and approval of the State Property Committee.
Q. If I become aware that a piece of state property is available to build on, how can I purchase it?
A. You cannot just purchase it. State land available to build on must go to Public Auction, however it is subject to the rights of whatever city or town it is located in and also any former owner[s].
