Learn about the Realty Services Division, which manages the rental and lease of City-owned properties.

Realty Services is one of six core divisions in Surrey's Engineering Department. The Realty Services division is made up of skilled professionals who perform all aspects of real estate-related activity for the City.

The division is responsible for the fair and equitable acquisition, disposition, development, management and maintenance of the City’s real estate assets. The division also provides real estate services to City decision-makers, other City departments and the general public to accomplish City goals.

Our Land Acquisition Section is responsible for the timely acquisition of land and rights-of-way for capital projects and park purposes including land assemblies for civic purpose projects.

Our Asset Management Section manages the City’s real estate inventory, which includes land inventory management, leasing and property sales.
