01 NCAC 06B.0304 :PROCEDURE FOR SALE OF STATE LAND The following procedure is used when surplus state-owned property is offered for sale by bid: 1) All state land will be advertised for sale unless waived by the Council of State. An advertisement is placed in a newspaper of general circulation, allowing 15 days for interested parties to bid. All bids must be forwarded to the Director, Division of State Property, Room 4055 Administration Building, 116 West Jones Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27603 and must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check for no less than five percent of the bid, payable to the "State of North Carolina." 2) After initial bids have been received, all interested parties will be notified of the high bid in order that they may have an opportunity to raise same. If not raised within 10 days, the Director of the Division of State Property will determine if the high bid should be accepted. All raises must be received within the 10 day period. 3) The bid may be raised by an amount of not less than five percent of the circulated high bid. Such a bid, together with a certified or cashier's check of not less than five percent of the bid, should be forwarded to the Director of the Division of State Property.
