§ 23261 County Property Transfer Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If a county gives land or stuff to another county, they have to list everything they own in that area.
  • •The new county gets all the listed stuff, but only after the old county pays any money it owes.
  • •A special group decides how much money needs to be paid before the stuff changes hands.

Example

Imagine County A gives a park and some fire trucks to County B.

County A must first list the park and fire trucks. Then, they have to pay any money they owe. After that, County B gets the park and fire trucks.
