Acquisition is the process of gaining ownership or control of real estate. We are responsible for the acquisition of real property assets; specifically, the land and buildings within the NC Department of Agriculture. Acquisitions include leases and land purchases for our department. 

Leases: Division Management determines if there is justification to acquire new office space or land. If there is a need, the Property Agent will require an email or letter from the Division requesting the lease and will determine if it falls within Departmental Guidelines and begin the process of drafting a lease. 

Land Purchases: Executive Management will determine if there is a justification for a land Purchase,  if so, the Property Section will begin the process and submit paperwork to be approved by the Department of Administration and the Council of State.
