All requests for projects involving the acquisition, sale, or transfer of real property are to be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for referral to the Property Management division. Leases of routine office space are channeled through the County Administrative Office.

That said, we're happy to help with smaller requests such as standard landlord services and timeline estimates for property acquisition. Send us a written request and we'll get the ball rolling. It's important to start the process early because many transactions TAKE TIME. If a County department even thinks they will need help - let's talk. We'll give direction and a sequence in which to proceed.
