Real Estate Services

Real Estate Services assists internal city departments in securing necessary land and property rights for municipal facilities, such as parks and libraries.

Duties and Responsibilities

The city owns and manages various properties throughout the downtown area, as well as the stadium site. These land-bank properties were acquired in order to spur new development in the Heritage Crossing Revitalization Initiative and the old Texas Stadium site. City ownership of the old Texas Stadium site adds to the real estate involvement for economic development in Irving.


The real estate staff also provides traditional services to city departments in:

  1. Securing land and property rights for municipal facilities
  2. Acquiring right-of-ways and easements for streets, drainage, water and sewer systems
  3. Managing the abandonment and licensing of city right-of-way
  4. Street + alley and easement abandonment applications (PDF)
  5. Sale of surplus real property owned by the city


And That's Just for Starters...

Management of city-owned leased property and management of over 2,000 acres of oil and gas assets also is handled by the real estate staff. Real Estate Services provides necessary acquisition and coordination services for implementation of Corridor Enhancement Projects, as well as intergovernmental projects with Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and Dallas County.


Here's What We Don't Do

Real Estate Services does not offer services for securing or selling personal real estate. The city does not provide personal real estate listings of for-sale properties. For more information about the department, call (972) 721-2611.
