Property Disposition Committee

Overview

The Real Property Disposition Committee has been established as a standing committee to make recommendations to the Common Council, regarding the disposition of real property owned by the City of Gloversville.

At least once per year, the City shall provide the Committee with a roster of parcels that are owned by the City, said roster being comprised of parcels for which there is no active nor foreseeable necessary use by the City.

The Committee shall make recommendations to the Common Council regarding sale price and method of sale as authorized pursuant to section 218-1 of the Gloversville City Code. Recommendations made to the Common Council are advisory in nature and all final decisions and determinations regarding the sale of any and all real property, including method of sale and sale price, remain vested with the Common Council.

• All final decisions and authority to sell real property are vested with the Common Council of the City of Gloversville.
• Decisions are made based on several factors and will be made in accordance with the best interest of the City of Gloversville, not solely on the highest bid. In other words, the highest bid on each property may not result in you actually winning the property!
• To whomever is awarded the property, they are also responsible for the upcoming tax bill(s) on the property.
