Sale of County Vehicles & Equipment

The County sells surplus equipment, furniture, and other items through electronic auction via online company. Instead of limiting bidders and bids to those people who physically attend a public auction, virtually anyone may bid on these auction items from anywhere at anytime.
Registration with the online company is required to bid on an item, but is not required to view listed items.

The County routinely acquires and disposes of property as part of normal operations. Detailed statutory guidance and procedures overlay the acquisition and disposition of most types of property. To abide by state laws and the County's Inventory Policy, the County acknowledges the following:
  • the County may acquire property through purchase, lease, gift, exchange, adverse possession, and eminent domain through condemnation.
  • the County may issue a mortgage or other types of security interest when acquiring (1) real property financed with either revenue bonds, project development bonds, or special obligation bonds, (2) health care facilities through bonds issued by the Medical Care Commission, and (3) property improved through a guaranteed energy savings contract.
  • the County may sale or otherwise dispose of property through provisions found in Article 12 of Chapter 160A of the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 160A-265 through -279), including sealed bids, negotiated offer and upset bids, public auction, exchange of property, and private negotiation in certain limited circumstances
  • the Board of County Commissioners may authorize to lease the County's property (G.S. 160A-272).
