Require counties and municipalities to provide public notice for land or building purchases
HB 2092 requires West Virginia counties and municipalities to provide public notice at least three months before purchasing land or buildings. The notice must include property size, sale details (date, location, method), inspection periods, and contact information, and must be accessible via social media, courthouse postings, or local newspapers. Proposals submitted for these purchases must be publicly available for 10 business days prior to final decisions. This bill directly affects local governments by standardizing transparency in property acquisitions, ensuring community awareness of potential land or building purchases.
