Real Estate Department
Making City properties work.
We coordinate the purchase, sale, operations, and maintenance of City-owned properties.
The Real Estate Department is a division of the Internal Service Fund – City Wide Administration. The Real Estate Department is responsible for managing a real estate portfolio that includes approximately 1,900 acres of City-owned undeveloped land, both inside and outside the City limits, as well as approximately 300 leases between the Bend Municipal Airport and other City-owned property.
In addition, Real Estate Department staff assist other City departments, such as Facilities, Transportation & Mobility, and Engineering & Infrastructure Planning Department (EIPD), with real property acquisition, surplus property disposition, transaction support and strategy, as well as partner with outside agencies on public/private development and infrastructure projects to the benefit of the City. Revenue is generated through the City’s cost allocation plan and expenditures are limited to operational expenses.
