California State Real Property Inventory Since 1989

California's Statewide Property Inventory, established by legislation in 1988, catalogs land and structures owned or leased by the state. The inventory, updated annually, supports asset management decisions for government officials. Data includes property leased to the private sector, with additions from a 2004 executive order.

Use Cases

• Analyze state-owned land and structures to identify underutilized assets for potential sale or repurposing.
• Track lease terms and locations for property the state leases to the private sector for revenue management.
• Map government assets using KML or GEOJSON files to visualize spatial distribution and infrastructure density.

Strengths

• Inventory has been maintained since 1989, providing over three decades of historical property data.
• Data is updated annually by state agencies, ensuring regular refresh cycles.
• Covers three mandated categories: state-owned/leased land, state-owned/leased structures, and state property leased privately.

Limitations

• Specific data volume (row count) and schema (column names) are not documented.
• Data quality and completeness depend on reporting from numerous individual state agencies.
