California Code, Government Code - GOV § 11011.11

(1) There is no complete inventory of all state real property holdings containing information on present use, characteristics of the holding, or its value.

(2) Both the Auditor General and the California Commission on State Government Organization and Economy have found that there is state-owned real property which is presently unused and should be declared surplus, and that there is little or no internal or external review to determine if lands could be declared surplus.

(3) The Auditor General, in a report entitled “California Could Earn Millions of Dollars from Better Management of its Excess Land,” also found that the state is losing money by retaining property which is not being used.  This deprives the General Fund of revenues which could be generated by the sale or transfer of surplus land.
