Gov. Code, § 25515 · Article 7.5. Development of Public Property
Gov. Code, § 25515
Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
The Legislature finds that counties are faced with critical revenue shortages and a need for additional revenue sources to provide basic and essential public services.
The Legislature finds that counties own property which, if permitted to be developed by a joint venture agreement between private enterprise and commercial, industrial, and cultural uses, would provide a means to produce additional revenue sources for the benefit of the counties owning such property, and aid the economic well-being of the state generally.
The Legislature further finds that due to reductions in personnel or programs counties own or lease properties which are totally or partially vacant but which could be used by compatible private persons, firms or corporations through lease arrangements or joint venture developments which would generate revenue.
Therefore, the Legislature finds that the provisions for residential, commercial, industrial, and cultural development of public property owned by counties constitutes a valid public purpose.
