Land sales revenue comes from municipalities selling property they own but no longer need for public purposes. Cities and towns accumulate land through purchases, tax sale forfeitures, dedications from developers, and historical acquisitions. When property becomes surplus, meaning it's not needed for current or future municipal purposes, it may be sold. Provincial legislation governs how municipalities must declare land surplus and conduct sales, often requiring public notice and fair market valuations. Proceeds from land sales typically fund capital projects rather than operating expenses. Strategic land management helps municipalities maximize returns while retaining properties needed for long-term community benefit.
