Notwithstanding the other provisions of this subtitle, the County may dispose of property declared non-buildable by the Planning and Zoning Officer, in writing, through a private disposition if the property is one-tenth of an acre or less in size, is determined to be surplus property by the Central Services Officer and that determination is approved in writing by the Chief Administrative Officer and by resolution of the County Council.
(b) Determining if surplus. In determining whether non-buildable property is surplus property, the Central Services Officer shall inquire as to whether the Department of Public Works has a need for the property for road or utility work and whether the Department of Recreation and Parks has a need for the property for ecological preservation or recreational use.

The notice shall advise that the County is accepting reasonable offers for the sale of the property. The County shall post a copy of the notice on its official website at the time of mailing.
